Dagenham East (London Underground)
Dagenham East is an overground station of the London Underground in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 5 on Rainham Road. In 2014, 2.66 million passengers used this station served by the District Line .
It opened in 1888 under the name Dagenham , when the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway opened a more direct route between Barking and Southend-on-Sea , without going through Tilbury . District Line trains first stopped on July 2, 1902, but subway operations on the section east of East Ham were stopped on September 30, 1905. Since the completion of the electrification of the line between Barking and Upminster on September 12, 1932, Dagenham East has been served by the District Line again. The trains of the railway have been going through here without stopping since 1962.
There are three platforms in total. While the regular District Line trains stop at the newer island platform, individual underground trains turn around prematurely at the house platform and then return to the city center. The older island platform between the railway tracks is no longer used. The station buildings were almost completely new as part of the electrification, but individual elements from the Victorian era can still be recognized.
