Theydon Bois (London Underground)
Theydon Bois [ ˌθeɪdən ˈbɔɪz ] is an above-ground station on the London Underground . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 6 and is one of 14 outside Greater London . It is located on Slade End in the village of Theydon Bois in the Epping Forest district of Essex . In 2014, 850,000 passengers used this station served by the Central Line .
The station was opened on April 24, 1865 by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) as part of the new line section between Loughton and Ongar . It was initially called Theydon , but was given its current name on December 1st of the same year. From 1923 the line was owned by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). After the nationalization of the LNER, the line went into the possession of British Railways for a few months in 1948 , which allowed shuttle trains with steam locomotives to run on the not yet electrified section. The metro began operating on September 25, 1949.
Theydon Bois has been one of the first London Underground stations since February 5, 2006 to be no longer staffed and not to have a ticket office. The reasons are, on the one hand, the low level of use and, on the other hand, the increasing spread of the Oyster card , which means that fewer sales personnel are required.
