Hornchurch (London Underground)
Hornchurch is an above-ground London Underground station in the London Borough of Havering . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 6 at the Lane station. In 2014, 2.15 million passengers used the station served by the District Line .
It opened in 1888 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, Hornchurch has been served by the District Line again. The trains of the railway have been going through here without stopping since 1962.
There are two platforms. While the regular District Line trains stop at the newer island platform, the older one is no longer used today. The station buildings were almost completely new as part of the electrification, but individual elements from the Victorian era can still be recognized.
