Closure Ratification Notice – Angel Road station
1. On 21 February 2019 the Department for Transport asked the Office of Rail and Road
(ORR) to ratify the proposal to close Angel Road station.
2. Further to s32(8) of the Railways Act 2005 (the Act), I am satisfied that:
a) there has been no failure or defect in the consultation; and
b) the proposal satisfies the criteria set out in the relevant part of the closure
guidance issued under the Act.
3. Having considered the overall proposal, I hereby ratify the closure of Angel Road
station.
4. Under s33(2) of the Act, ORR may “impose such requirements relevant to the
proposal as it considers appropriate”. I do not consider it appropriate to impose such
requirements in this case.
5. Under ORR’s powers in s32(9)(b) of the Act, I require the operator of Angel Road
station to display this notice at the station for a period of 4 weeks following the date of this
notice.
6. In addition, I require the operators of the stations in the area affected by the closure
–Hertford East, Ware, St. Margarets, Rye House, Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Waltham Cross,
Enfield Lock, Northumberland Park, Tottenham Hale, Lea Bridge, Bishop’s Stortford,
Sawbridgeworth, Stratford, Harlow Mill, Harlow Town, Roydon – to display this notice at
those stations for the same period.
