Walthamstow Queen's Road railway station is a London Overground station between Template:LUL stations and Leyton Midland Road stations on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line in northeast London. It is in Zone 3. It opened as "Walthamstow" on 9 July 1894 and was renamed on 6 May 1968[4][5] under British Rail. The station stands on Edinburgh Road (not Queens Road). There is step-free access from the street to both platforms.
The station is about 330 yards (300 m) from Template:LUL stations station and there is a direct footpath link between the two stations via a new exit onto Exeter Road. The footpath link, which opened in August 2014, is called Ray Dudley Way in commemoration of a local man who campaigned for the link for many years.[6]
The station is served by a train every 15 minutes in both directions throughout the day, though from June 2016 until February 2017 the service is suspended (with a rail-replacement bus in operation) whist the line undergoes major rebuilding work associated with forthcoming electrification.[7]
