Becontree Station is a London Underground station on the District Line, located in Becontree. The station is in Zone 5.
The station was opened in 1932, when the electrified District Line was extended to Upminster, replacing Gale Street Halt which was built by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. The station has four platforms. Two are used by the District Line and another two are disused since the LT&SR service was withdrawn in 1962. The station buildings are of typical 1930s design. The 1932 station was constructed and initially operated by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway with services provided by the District Line from the outset. It is between Upney and Dagenham Heathway stations.
3 Ticket Barriers and a gate control access to all platforms. Becontree station is said to be haunted by a faceless woman with long blonde hair that several staff members have sighted.[4]
