Upton Park tube station

Upton Park is an aboveground station London Underground in the London Borough of Newham. It is located in the Travelcard Zone 3 at the Green Street. In 2011, 11.01 million passengers used the station. In the vicinity is the Boleyn Ground, the football stadium of the club West Ham United.

The station has an island platform for trains on the District Line and the Hammersmith & City Line. However, the latter do not operate in the early morning, late evening and on Sundays. Another platform is located on the parallel railway line that leads to the south-east of Essex. However, it is no longer used, as the trains of the railway company c2c pass through here without stopping.

On September 17, 1877, the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway ( LT & SR ) opened at this point a train station. The District Line started its operations on June 2, 1902. The Metropolitan Line operated Upton Park for the first time on March 30, 1936 ( the branch line towards Barking in 1988 transferred to the Hammersmith & City Line ). 1962 held the last train of the railway.
