Looking northeast. This station has Overground trains to Stratford, and in the other direction to Richmond. Until 1959, another platform adjoined at the left, where the block of flats is now, which had a shuttle service of a single car to and from Acton Town, on the Piccadilly and District lines. But like other short but interesting branches of London Transport railways (Aldwych Branch and the Epping to Ongar line) it was closed in the interests of economy, and the track-bed was quickly built over.
