The Gospel Oak to Barking line is a train line in North and East London which connects Gospel Oak in North London to Barking in East London. It is sometimes known as the Goblin (for Gospel Oak to Barking LINe).
The section from South Tottenham to Woodgrange Park was built as the Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway, a joint project between the Midland Railway and the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. It opened on 9 July, 1894, linking the Midland and Great Eastern joint line at South Tottenham, and the Forest Gate to Barking line at Woodgrange Park.
Train services on the line are operated by Silverlink and the typical service is one train every thirty minutes in each direction. The station is also heavily used by freight as it provides an orbital route around London, connecting with many radial routes, and the North London Line at Gospel Oak.
