It has two side platforms 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. Eastbound trains can turn around on a third platform to return to the city center. Another platform is on the parallel railway line that runs to southeast Essex .
