The Lea Valley lines are two commuter lines and three branches in north-east London, so named because they run along the Lower Lea Valley of the River Lea. They were part of the Great Eastern Railway,[2] now part of the Anglia Route of Network Rail.
On 31 May 2015, services between London Liverpool Street to Chingford, Cheshunt and Enfield Town were transferred to London Overground; services from London Liverpool Street and Stratford via Tottenham Hale remain with Greater Anglia. Services operated by London Overground are now fully operated by new-built Class 710 rolling stock, replacing older Class 315 and Class 317 stock inherited from Greater Anglia.[3] Services operated by Greater Anglia are operated by new Class 720 and Class 745 stock, replacing Class 317 and Class 379 trains.
On 15 February 2024, Sadiq Khan announced that Lea Valley line services operated by London Overground between London Liverpool Street and Chingford, Cheshunt and Enfield Town will be named the "Weaver line".
