The railway at Broxbourne dates from 1840, and that at Bishop's
Stortford from 1843; the rest of the line was running by 1845. A
busy freight route up until the 1980s, it has seen large growth in
the passenger business since electrification and the opening of the
Stansted Airport branch. Recent investment by Railtrack and later
Network Rail has seen resignalling south of Bishop's Stortford as
well as providing new passenger rolling stock. This first volume
takes a journey over the line from Cheshunt to Audley End, stopping
at all the stations to view what has changed over the last 170
years. This main line is now principally a commuter route for
journeys to London and Cambridge, and for people travelling to
Stansted Airport. All the goods yards at the intermediate stations
have now closed, except for a stone depot at Harlow Mill, and most
of these have been turned into station car parks.
