Upton Park (London Underground)
Upton Park is an above-ground London Underground station in the Upton Park borough of Newham . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 3 on Green Street. In 2014, 11.41 million passengers used the station. Nearby was Upton Park ( Boleyn Ground ), the former West Ham United football stadium .
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. Another platform is on the parallel railway line that runs to southeast Essex . However, it is no longer used because the trains of the c2c railway company pass through here without stopping.
On September 17, 1877, the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LT&SR) opened a station at this point. The District Line began operating on June 2, 1902. The Metropolitan Line first served Upton Park on March 30, 1936 (the branch route towards Barking was transferred to Hammersmith & City Line in 1988). In 1962 the last train on the railway stopped.
