The railway line from Stratford to Broxbourne via Waltham Cross was opened by the Northern & Eastern Railway on 15th September 1840. Cheshunt station on this line was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway on 31st May 1846.

A further line to Cheshunt was opened on 1st October 1891 for passenger and freight working. This branched off the existing line to Enfield Town to the north of Lower Edmonton (now Edmonton Green) station to join the older line at Cheshunt.

The lines from Hackney Downs to Bishop's Stortford and Hertford East, including those through Cheshunt station, were electrified on 21st November 1960. The lines south from Cheshunt via Tottenham Hale were not electrified until 5th May 1969.

London Overground took over the route to Cheshunt via White Hart Lane in May 2015. In this view a terminating London Overground train is on the left while on the right are the stopping lines for trains from beyond Cheshunt as well as fast trains to Cambridge and Stansted Airport.
