Potters Bar station is the highest on the East Coast Main Line between London King's Cross and {{stnlnk|York}}. The station is currently under renovation. HistoryThe first section of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) - that from {{stnlnk|Louth}} to a junction with the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway at Grimsby - opened on 1 March 1848, but the southern section of the main line, between {{stnlnk|Maiden Lane}} and {{stnlnk|Peterborough}}, was not opened until August 1850. Potter's Bar was one of the original stations, opening with the line on 7 August 1850.[3][4][5] On 1 May 1923, the station was renamed Potter's Bar and South Mimms; on 3 May 1971 it reverted to its original name of Potter's Bar.[5] The current station building, in a "post modern" style, is the third on this site. It replaced a 1955 structure designed by James Wyatt[6] of the Eastern Region Architect's Department (Chief Architect H Powell). Pevsner described the 1955 station as "The first of the Eastern Region's good modern stations, the style much lighter in touch than in the stations of the 1960s (cf Broxbourne). Neat brick clerestory-lit booking hall".[7] The platform canopies were also constructed in 1955, using what was then an innovative technique of pre-stressed concrete. As the concrete set it unexpectedly curved up at either end of the long, thin canopies, unintentionally creating the "willow" look.[8] FacilitiesPotters Bar is a modern railway station spread across two floors. On the lower floor, there are four ticket machines, located in the main booking hall and near to the entrance to the car park, a photo booth, cash machine, two ticket counters and a newsagency. Access to the platforms is controlled by a series of automatic ticket gates. Access is in the form of a ramp, meaning that wheelchair users can easily access the platforms. On the upper floor, where the platforms are located, there are canopies running most of the length of both platforms. Each island platform has a help-point. Platforms 1&2 have both male and female toilets, as well as a cafe,[9] customer information office and a disabled access toilet. Platforms 3&4 are home to staff accommodation, including a mess room and station management office. The station has four platforms, platforms 2 & 3 are the fast-line platforms which are used by fast line services, whilst platforms 1 & 4 are the slow-line platforms which are used by stopping services.

Proposed 2018 train timetableGovia Thameslink Railway issued a timetable consultation document in September 2016[11], describing the proposed 2018 timetables. When this is implemented the number of peak time trains stopping at Potters Bar Station will roughly double to eight trains per hour in each direction. The Thameslink routes will call at London St Pancras International rather than London Kings Cross and will continue through central London and on to Brighton or Sevenoaks.
