There will be changes to train times from this weekend.

The changes will include services operated by Greater Anglia, including on its West Anglia route and on Sunday services in Norfolk, and increased capacity elsewhere on its network.

Morning and evening peak services will depart between two and 10 minutes earlier, while some trains will have extra carriages.

There will be additional trains leaving Stratford and heading north during peak periods.

Between London and Cambridgeshire, fewer Cambridge and Ely services will call at Cheshunt but more Hertford East and Stansted services will serve the station.

Several Stratford-bound services will begin and end at Hertford East instead of Bishop's Stortford, while the Stratford–Meridian Water service will increase from three to four trains an hour during the evening peak period.

For morning peak trains towards London Liverpool Street, Cambridge and Ely services will start earlier, and Stansted Airport services will have new times.

For evening peak trains out of Liverpool Street, slower Cambridge-bound services will add Brimsdown but will generally not call at Waltham Cross.

Passengers are advised to check National Rail Enquiries for up-to-date rail times.
