The station is served by London Overground trains running between Richmond and Stratford over what is generally referred to as the North London Line. This station is the point for the current Class 378 Units to switch over to the 25Kv AC overhead power supply from the 650v DC third rail supply - there is a sign visible beyond the red signal on the left that reads '378 UNITS PAN UP'; reminding the driver to raise the pantograph at this point.
