Clive's gives the opening as Monday 1935-05-13. The two newspaper stories in the piece give Saturday 1935-05-18 as the grand official opening. I suspect 1935-05-13 is actually a first served date, but looking for a source to say this explicitly. MRSC (talk) 09:53, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello! Thought it might be interesting to review a tube station. I am going to rely on this guide, several other tube GAs, and my experience with editing MRT articles for this review. Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2). Please ping me so that I get notified of your response  02:27, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

@Icepinner: Thanks for this. I think I've addressed every comment. MRSC (talk) 07:45, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

### Other comments
Just out of curiosity is there any more information on the station's history? I understand that it's a relatively small station but I was surprised how there's not much history after the station's opening. How often do tube stations like these get upgraded?
As part of the public–private partnership arrangement for maintenance of the London Underground, the station was refurbished by Metronet during 2005 and 2006. Works included provision of tactile strips and colour contrasted handrails for the visually impaired, installation of closed-circuit television cameras, passenger help points, new electronic departure information displays on the platforms, a new public address system and improved lighting. this needs to be moved to the history section
You are still using "Cartometro" for one of the citations. Regardless of the type of source, it is self-published by a non-established subject-expert and thus needs to be removed.
The infobox needs citations for info not already present within the body (who manages it, coordinates, etc).
There is a central waiting room unsupported by the source
It was the last infill station on the local electrified tracks between Upminster and Barking that were constructed in 1932 not mentioned in the body. Also a bit trivial imo
Missing in the lead: refurbished works (mention in brief, ex: the station had refurbishment works by Metronet between 2005 to 2006
That's all @MRSC:, ping me when you're done. Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2). Please ping me so that I get notified of your response  09:01, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks @Icepinner:
Kay (2010) notes that the station has "no changes of substance" since opening. I've added that to the article. This is largely explained by the Underground only taking over the station in 1969, despite providing services since 1935. The previous owners (LMS/BR) had little incentive to invest in a station they did not run any services at. London Underground stations typically have a more complex history than this one in terms of changes over time.
I've think I've addressed all these. MRSC (talk) 09:56, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
@MRSC: I'm happy with the article in its current stage. Approved!
