West Ham station - Definition and Overview

West Ham station is a London Underground and National Rail station located in West Ham. It is served by the District Line, Hammersmith & City Line, Jubilee Line and is also served by c2c and Silverlink train services. The station is in Zone 3.

The station opened in 1901 and District Line service began in 1902. The station was greatly enlarged and entirely modernised as part of the Jubilee Line Extension project in 1999 at which point the c2c service was introduced at the station.

• On the Hammersmith & City and District lines it is between Bromley by Bow and Plaistow.
• On the Jubilee and Silverlink North London Lines it is between Stratford and Canning Town.
• On the c2c route it is between Limehouse and Barking.

A planned extension of the Docklands Light Railway from Canning Town to Stratford International station via West Ham would see the removal of Silverlink services from West Ham.
