Wanstead tube station
It opened on 14 December 1947 as an extension of the Central line to form the new part of the Hainault loop.The extension of the Central line eastwards from Liverpool Street was first proposed in 1935 by the London Passenger Transport Board.[6] Construction of the station began in the mid-1930s, but was delayed by the onset of World War II.The incomplete tunnels between Wanstead and Gants Hill to the east were used for munitions production by Plessey between 1942 and 1945.[9] The station has been extensively refurbished since 2006, including the replacement of the original platform wall tiling, which had become badly damaged.
