The station was opened in 1901 by the Great Eastern Railway. It is currently managed by Transport for London and is on the Elizabeth line between Shenfield and London Paddington.

History

Goodmayes station was opened on 8 February 1901[3] by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) on the Great Eastern Main Line out of London Liverpool Street. The station once had an extensive shunting yard for goods traffic, but this fell into disuse following the Beeching cuts to the railway system in 1963, and was eventually dismantled. The site of the yard stood on the area between the present track and the High Road and has been replaced by a supermarket, other shops and housing. There was also a large yard area between the existing track area and Kinfauns Road. This yard area went as far as Chadwell Heath.
