for the operational infrastructure passed to Railtrack. In August 2002 signalling control was transferred to the Liverpool Street Integrated Electronic Control Centre (IECC). The WAGN franchise was replaced in 2003 by the 'One' franchise although this was later renamed National Express East Anglia. The following year following financial difficulties Railtrack was superseded by Network Rail. In February 2012 operation of the station changed once again with Abellio Greater Anglia taking over the Greater Anglia franchise. In March 2017, following consultation with local authorities and the public, the decision was made to permanently close the ticket office at Northumberland Park. The station is now unmanned with assistance reached via station help points. The New Northumberland Park station will also be constructed without a ticket office. Proposals and upgrade In 2007 Haringey Council supported proposals for platforms for the Victoria line to be built at Northumberland Park. These would be to the east of the main line platforms between the main line and the Northumberland Park Depot. This was supported by the former Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone. It is claimed that this would aid regeneration of the area, and that better transport links would have to be part of plans to increase capacity at White Hart Lane. In February 2013, the Crossrail task force of business group London First, chaired by former Secretary of State for Transport Andrew Adonis, published its recommendations on Crossrail 2, favouring a route almost identical to the regional option proposed by TfL in 2011. The report was endorsed by Network Rail. If this happens it is likely that few if any main line trains will continue to call at Northumberland Park. This proposal will see four tracks restored through Northumberland Park to Tottenham Hale and direct links via central London to the south west suburbs. In 2017, as part of a £170m Lee Valley Rail Programme to build a 5.5 km new track between Stratford and a new Meridian Water railway station, the construction of a new island platform with lifts and a new footbridge at Northumberland Park started. The new platform accommodates the new third track allowing an additional two trains per hour to be operated. The level crossing for cars was closed and removed. The work was completed in 2019. Connections London Buses Routes 192, 318, 341, 476 and W3 serve the station. Services All services at Northumberland Park are operated by Greater Anglia.
