The station at Hornchurch opened on 1 May 1885; the next station to the east was Upminster and to the west was Dagenham. The District Railway electric service extended eastward towards Hornchurch to Barking in 1908. Delayed by World War an additional pair of electrified fourth rail tracks were extended by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway to Upminster and services of the District resumed at Hornchurch in 1932. To coincide with the introduction of electric services, the station was rebuilt with two additional platforms and a new ticket office spanning the tracks facing onto Station Lane. The Metropolitan District Railway amalgamated with several other transport concerns to form London Transport in 1933, and became known as the District line. A new station at Upminster Bridge became the next station to the east in 1934 and Elm Park was added to the west in 1935. The 1947 timetable shows only a few services a day provided by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and a frequent service provided by the District. Another District Line Cache consisting of a 'Bison' type magnetic container, containing a log. Please bring a pen/pencil to sign log.
