Leytonstone High Road, London Overground GOBLIN, looking towards Gospel Oak on 2nd May 2024. This station opened with the Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway on 9th July 1894 as Leytonstone, renamed Leytonstone (High Road) by BR in 1949. The brackets around High Road were gradually dropped. It has been rebuilt twice, with brick-built platform buildings in the 1950s and again in the 1970s after the line, which then ran between Barking and Kentish Town, was spared the Beeching axe. Trains were diverted from Kentish Town to Gospel Oak in 1981, along a line that had been freight-only since 1925.
