The station has never been officially closed (was it ever officially opened?
It's never been a public passenger station, so there would have been no need
for any sort of official function to declare it 'open'), but I think the
footbridge is in pretty bad shape. When I left Enfield for CityRail in late
1994 we still used the footbridge to get from the up yard to the down yard
when relieving crews on the then down yard shunter.

No reason to.
