The platform was used for terminating services from St. Pancras and, mostly, Kentish Town. This service also used Barking as a terminus, the split between the two varying over the years. The service to East Ham was withdrawn in 1958 after a period of exclusive use whilst the layout west of Barking was drastically remodelled in preparation for electrification. The west side of the Little Ilford triangle which was used by the service was then removed.
