Opened in 1903 as part of the Great Eastern Railway's Fairlop Loop, Central Line tube trains took over in 1948. This involved building Hainault depot, behind the camera, and also the island platform to the right. The third platform face with the train stopped at it facilitated trains terminating here and passing to the depot. Hence the contrast in styles between the near platform built for the opening in 1903, and the post-war more utilitarian essay on the right.
