Opened in 1926 as Gale Street Halt by the London Midland & Scottish Railway on the line from London to Upminster, this station was renamed and rebuilt in 1932 when the platforms to the left were added. The LMS platforms to the right were closed in 1962. The station transferred from British Rail to London Transport in 1969. View east towards Dagenham Heathway and Upminster. Like 55% of the London Underground network, this part is actually overground.
