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 Travelcard Zone 3.
The station opened in 1901 and District Line service began in 1902, with the Hammersmith & City Line (then the Metropolitan Line) following in 1936. The North London Line (now Silverlink) station opened in 1979 as part of a local regeneration programme. The station was greatly enlarged and entirely modernised as part of the Jubilee Line Extension project in 1999, with the introduction of Jubilee Line and c2c services at the station.
The station consists of four sets of island platforms. Two are raised above street level running east-west, serving the District and Hammersmith & City, and c2c lines respectively; two more are at street level, running north-south and serving Silverlink and the Jubilee Lines.
A planned extension of the Docklands Light Railway from Canning Town to Stratford International station via West Ham would see the DLR replacing the Silverlink service.
West Ham station is managed by London Underground. All platforms have step-free access to the street and each other, with the exception of the Silverlink platforms.
