Gidea Park Station is located on the TFL Rail line out of London Liverpool Street towards Shenfield and will soon be part of the Crossrail network. Before the network was part of the TFL Rail, it was managed and operated to by Greater Anglia who operated most other services throughout the East End of London and into Essex.

Typically trains operate at a frequency of every 10 minutes in each direction with the addition of extra services at Peak times which can means there is a service roughly every 5 minutes at some stops; Gidea Park is where a lot of these extra services terminate and either head to the nearby carriage sidings or form a service back to London Liverpool Street.

The line as it is now runs services between Shenfield and London Liverpool Street however this is set to change with the opening of Crossrail which would see services start at Shenfield and head all the way to Reading via a Underground section of railway under central London, at this point these services will no longer serve London Liverpool Street.

Services are now mostly operated by new state of the art Class 345 units which will continue to be used when the whole Corssrail Line opens, these units are going to replace BREL Class 315 Electric Multiple Units which had been used since the early 80's to operate services.
