History
The station, together with the railway line from Stratford to Broxbourne, was opened by the Northern & Eastern Railway on September 15 1840. Originally called Waltham and later renamed to Waltham Cross, it was on a site to the north of the road between Waltham Cross and Waltham Abbey.
In 1885 the station was relocated to the current site. A subsequent renaming to Waltham Cross (& Abbey) was later rescinded.
The lines through Waltham Cross were electrified on May 5 1969. [White, H.P., "A Regional History of the Railways of Great Britain Volume 3 Greater London", David & Charles, 1987]
