롬포드 역은 그레이트 이스턴 본선의 인터체인지 역이며, 런던 동부의 해빙의 런던 자치구에 있는 롬포드 시를 서비스하고 있다. 런던 리버풀 스트리트에서 12마일(약 19.9km) 떨어진 곳에 있으며 채드웰 히스와 기이다 공원 사이에 위치해 있다. 런던 오버그라운드에서 운영하는 업민스터행 지선의 북쪽 종착역이기도 하다. 그것의 3글자 스테이션 코드는 RMF이고 트래블카드 존 6에 있다.
역은 현재 TfL철도가 관리하고 있다. 대부분의 서비스는 TfL 레일에서 운영하는 선필드-리버풀 스트리트 '메트로' 서비스의 일환으로 롬포드를 호출하지만, 이 역은 사우스엔드 빅토리아와 콜체스터 타운을 오가는 오프피크 대 앵글리아 열차로도 운행된다.
앞으로 TfL 철도 서비스는 크로스레일 사업의 일환으로 엘리자베스 노선으로 재브랜드될 예정이다. 결국 엘리자베스 노선은 리버풀 가를 넘어 패딩턴까지, 레딩과 히드로 공항까지 연장 운행된다.
History
From its inception, the Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) planned a route linking London and Norwich that would take it via Romford. Two routes were considered, that of the current line, and an alternative going through Ilford at Cranbrook Road, then passing near to Gidea Hall and crossing Romford Common approximately following the route of the current A12 before returning to the current railway alignment at Brentwood.[3]
When the line was constructed, the first Romford station opened on 20 June 1839 as a single island platform located to the west of Waterloo Road, and formed the eastern terminus of the initial part of the Eastern Counties Railway from Mile End. Both stations acted as temporary termini, with the line extending east to Brentwood and west to Shoreditch in 1840.
In 1844, the station was relocated to its current position, some 400 metres (1,300 ft) east of the original. Around this time, the gauge of the ECR was changed from 5 ft (1,524 mm) to standard gauge of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in). In 1860, the station was remodelled with platforms on each side of the line with access to the new station by a covered walkway from South Street to the London-bound platform and via an open slope and steps for the country-bound platform.[4] Soon after this, the goods depot, which was situated to the south of the station, was connected to the Ind Coope brewery via a tunnel under the line.[5] Other non-passenger traffic included goods for the Romford Gas Works and for cattle pens accessed from St Andrews Road,[6] which were necessary due to the cattle market held in Romford every Wednesday.[7]
The construction of the Tilbury Docks in the 1850s gave expanded opportunities for rail traffic, and three proposals were made for a railway linking Romford to Tilbury. The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LT&S) were successful, and on 7 June 1893, the LT&S opened a station in Romford, on their line to Upminster, linking to the already existing connection from Upminster to Grays on the LT&S line to Tilbury. The LT&S had hoped to negotiate with the Great Eastern Railway (GER, the successor of the ECR) to use their station, but concerns over fast trains led to the GER declining and a completely new station was built with a single platform and an entrance on the opposite side of South Street to the GER station. A footbridge was built to connect the two stations but was often closed during the day.[8]
In the 1930s increasing traffic on the line led to two additional tracks being added on the north side, the line having been quadrupled to a point east of Romford previously in 1901.[9] This gave the station 4 platforms, and this became 5 platforms when, in 1934, the entrance to the platform of the line to Upminster was closed and the access to the single platform was provided by the footbridge from the main station platforms.[10]
Electric trains started on the line from Liverpool Street to Shenfield in 1949, giving Romford 15 trains per hour to London during peak hours, and 6 trains per hour off-peak, a pattern that continued for over half a century.[11]
In May 2015, the Upminster branch line transferred from Abellio Greater Anglia to London Overground and the regular Shenfield "metro" service transferred to TfL Rail.[12][13]
Accidents and incidents
- On 29 December 1944, one person was killed and three were injured when, in darkness and heavy fog, a Chelmsford–London service passed two signals at danger on the approach to Romford and ran into the rear of a stationary freight train. The passenger train's speed at the moment of impact was about 15 mph (24 km/h). One crew member on the goods train was killed instantly. The Chelmsford train driver was held responsible for the collision in a Ministry of War Transport report.[14]
- On 4 February 2010, two people standing on the platforms at Romford were injured when stone ballast was shed from a freight train passing through the station. Subsequent examination found that the train wagon's doors had not been properly closed when it departed from the goods yard at Acton, bound for Ipswich.[15]
Services
The majority of services are currently operated by TfL Rail, which runs the stopping "metro" route between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. Greater Anglia also operates medium-distance services between Liverpool Street and destinations in the East of England, while London Overground runs the half-hourly "push and pull" service between Romford and Upminster.
The typical off-peak Monday to Saturday service from Romford is:[16]
- 8 trains per hour (tph) to London Liverpool Street, of which:
- 6 call at all stations (TfL Rail),
- 2 call at Stratford and Liverpool Street (Greater Anglia);
- 6 tph to Shenfield, calling at all stations (TfL Rail);
- 2 tph to Upminster, calling at the only station, Emerson Park (London Overground);
- 1 tph to Southend Victoria calling at Shenfield, then all stations (Greater Anglia);
- 1 tph to Colchester Town calling at Shenfield, Chelmsford, Witham, then all stations (Greater Anglia).
In 2017 new Class 345 trains began entering service as Crossrail partially opened. Platforms 2 to 5 will be extended from their current length of between 179 metres (196 yd) and 182 metres (199 yd) to accommodate the Crossrail trains, which are over 200 metres (220 yd) long. New lifts, signage, help points, customer information screens and CCTV will also be installed.[17] These upgrade works are scheduled to be completed at the end of 2021, after delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[18]
Connections
A number of London Buses routes serve the station.
