history
On May 1, 1903, the Great Eastern Railway opened a suburban railway from Ilford via Hainault to Woodford , the so-called Fairlop Loop . Due to insufficient demand, the stop was closed from October 1, 1908 to March 2, 1930. In 1923 the line became the property of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).
As part of the New Works Program of the London Passenger Transport Board of 1935, most of the route was to be transferred to the Central Line to relieve the subsequent main rail line towards Liverpool Street . Construction work began in 1938, but had to be stopped by 1946 after the outbreak of World War II . From 1943 to 1945, during World War II, the United States Army Transportation Corps temporarily used the factory workshop, which was completed in 1939.
The last LNER train pulled by steam locomotives ran on November 29, 1947. From December 14, 1947, empty underground trains passed the station to get to the workshop on the newly electrified line. The underground service on the section between Newbury Park and Hainault began on May 31, 1948. Hainault was the terminus for almost six months until the rest of the route to Woodford was reopened on November 21, 1948.
