East Ham Underground Station
East Ham is an above-ground London Underground station in the London Borough of Newham . It is on the border of the Travelcard tariff zones 3 and 4, on High Street North. In 2014, 14.82 million passengers used the station.
The station has an island platform for trains on the District Line and the Hammersmith & City Line . However, the latter do not operate in the early morning, late evening and on Sundays. A second platform was in operation until 1958, until here individual trains drove on the Gospel Oak – Barking railway line , which reached East Ham via a connecting curve that has since been dismantled. Another platform is on the south side of the parallel railway line that leads to southeast Essex . However, it is no longer used either, since the trains of the c2c railway company pass through here without stopping. The station building has much of its appearanceVictorian era and was restored in 2005. It has been a listed building ( Grade II ) since 1999 .
On March 31, 1858, the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LT&SR) opened a station at this point. The District Line began operating on June 2, 1902. From September 30, 1905, East Ham was a temporary terminus, as the line to Barking was not yet electrified; this was not the case until April 1, 1908. The Metropolitan Line first served this station on March 30, 1936 (the branch line towards Barking was transferred to the Hammersmith & City Line in 1988). In 1962 the last train on the railway stopped.
