History
The station was opened on 1 May 1903 as part of the
Second World War
in 1939 and work only recommenced in 1946.
Steam train services serving Fairlop were suspended on 29 November 1947 and electrified Central line passenger services, to Central London via Gants Hill, finally commenced on 31 May 1948. The line from Newbury Park to Hainault through Fairlop had been electrified for empty train movements to the new depot at Hainault from 14 December 1947.
Few alterations took place during this transfer, and the station remains a fine example of an
Edwardian
railway station including canopies that still bear the GER symbol in the bracketry.
The station has toilet facilities, a car park, and a waiting room on both westbound and eastbound platforms.
