History
The station was opened by the
.As a consequence of the 1921
From the mid-1960s until the early 1990s the Woodford-Hainault section was largely separately operated from the rest of the Central line, using four car (later three car) trains of 1960 Stock. These trains were adapted for Automatic Train Operation (ATO); the Woodford-Hainault section became the testing ground for ATO on the Victoria line. The separate operation has now been abolished and through trains to Central London via Hainault now operate. At the beginning of the morning and evening peak periods, some trains starting from Hainault depot enter service at Grange Hill and work to central London via Woodford, although in the current timetable, only one train returns to Hainault depot via Grange Hill, the majority doing so instead via Newbury Park and Hainault.
Since 5 February 2006 this has been one of the small number of stations on the network to have no staffed ticket office.[citation needed] However, staff are available 24 hours a day for customer information and the train service has been extended to midnight to take into account the rising passenger numbers.
