INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background 1.1.1 In 2009, Waltham Forest Council, commissioned an appraisal of a proposal to introduce a direct rail service between Chingford and Stratford, requiring reinstatement of the abandoned Hall Farm curve, connecting the Chingford branch with the direct Tottenham Hale – Stratford route (at Lea Bridge Junction, north of Lea Bridge station). This appraisal was undertaken by Systra, then known as MVA Consultancy. 1.1.2 An earlier report, undertaken by Hyder Consulting and Maines Consulting in 2002, had demonstrated the technical feasibility of this reinstatement; the 2009 Appraisal confirmed that the demand for such a service would be sufficient to support a strong business case for the scheme. 1.1.3 The 2009 Appraisal also confirmed that, against the background of the passenger train services and other train movements (principally freight) operating at that time, it would be operationally feasible to introduce such a service, at a frequency of generally 4 trains per hour (tph).
