The difficult economic circumstances that existed after World War I led the Government to pass the Railways Act 1921 which led to the creation of the Big Four. The GER amalgamated with several other companies to create the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). Spooner Row became an LNER station on 1 January 1923. On nationalisation in 1948 the station and its services came under the management of the Eastern Region of British Railways. The original station buildings were destroyed by fire in the 1970s. Upon privatisation the station and its services were transferred to Anglia Railways on 2 March 1997. On 1 April 2004 the station and its services were transferred to National Express East Anglia, then known as "one". On 5 February 2012 these were transferred to Abellio Greater Anglia.
