This is a nostalgic track plan.  Lower Edmonton station still exists. 
It is on the Liverpool Street line and an electric train calls there
every twenty minutes or so.  I was at school in Edmonton in the 1950's
when the old platforms of the Eastern Counties railway still survived. 
I thought I would set down a sketch of how the station used to look. 
The site was cleared in the 1970s and the ghastly `Edmonton Green'
development was put up.  This development was so awfully built that
market traders who had spent a lifetime standing on the real Green in
the open air complained about how draughty it was!

The branch line used to be the principal route between Enfield Town and
London.  The service dates from about 1840.  An Auto Train, a 42-seater
steam railbus with a wooden boiler, travelled between Enfield Town and
Angel Road.  Passengers travelled on from Angel Road to Liverpool Street
via Stratford.  Services between Lower Edmonton and Angel Road
continued, though with more modern equipment, until the outbreak of war
in 1939.  After that it carried freight and acted as an occasional
diversionary route and as a platform for at least one special passenger
train.  (If anyone has a track plan of Angel Road, please tell me.  It
was a junction with a small marshalling yard and a four-track main line. 
Two of the four tracks survive and a short length of the branch survives
as a spur.)

The high level platforms were built later (1880s?), and they are still
in use.  The booking office was rebuilt a few years ago, but the
buildings at platform level have not changed since the fifties except
that the lamps are electric and painted red now. 

The most unusual feature of the station is that the station was crossed
in two places by rights of way.  A level crossing separated the two
platforms.  I don't know whether one or the other of the platforms was
used exclusively, or whether trains in one direction stopped at one
platform and trains in the other direction stopped at the other
platform.  However, I can clearly remember the footpath that crossed the
western platform.  There were steps let into the platform edge, and you
walked cross the track and up the steps, or vice versa.  When I know
this station there was no sign of any station building on the low level
platform that I can remember. 

Outside Lower Edmonton station was a horse trough which is of a little
historic interest.  It was at this trough that the horse buses had
stopped to refresh the horses.  Edmonton Green thus became a turning
point for the trolleybuses, when they came, and after they ceased the
motor buses kept up the tradition: buses still terminate at Lower
Edmonton for no better reason than that it is where the horse trough
once was!

I have marked signals where I think they would have been.  I can
remember the signals that guarded the level crossing; the others look
right.  In the fifties the trains often operated through dense fog, and
detonators on the rails let off a loud bang, in case the driver could
not see the signal. 

Incidentally, Enfield Town station, which was the terminus of the
Eastern Counties branch, is still there and is very heavily used by
commuters to London.  The trains now go via Lower Edmonton (the high
level platforms) and into Liverpool Street via a more direct route.
