You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The station is on the [[Central line (London Underground)|Central line]] between [[Fairlop tube station|Fairlop]] and [[Grange Hill tube station|Grange Hill]] stations.<ref name=tubemap>((cite map/Standard Tube Map))</ref> Since 2 January 2007, the station has been in [[Travelcard Zone 4]].<ref name=tubemap /> It is also home to one of the three Central line depots.

==History==
((more citations needed section|date=February 2015))
The station was opened on 1 May 1903 as part of the [[Great Eastern Railway]]'s (GER) [[Fairlop Loop]] branch line from [[Woodford, London|Woodford]] to [[Ilford]].((sfn|Connor|2007|p=IV))<ref name=jarriercarto>((cite map |url=http://carto.metro.free.fr/documents/CartoMetroLondon.v3.7.pdf |title=Greater London Transport Tracks Map |work=CartoMetro London Edition |version=3.7 |last=Jarrier |first=Franklin |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181118092031/http://carto.metro.free.fr/documents/CartoMetroLondon.v3.7.pdf |archive-date=18 November 2018))</ref> The line was designed to stimulate suburban growth, but Hainault station was closed on 1 October 1908 due to a lack of custom and did not reopen until 2 March 1930.<ref name=cravensheritage>((cite web |url=http://www.cravensheritagetrains.co.uk/history.htm |title=Railways to Epping and Ongar |website=Cravens Heritage Trains |date=1 October 2011 |access-date=25 November 2018 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181125134852/http://www.cravensheritagetrains.co.uk/history.htm |archive-date=25 November 2018 ))</ref> In 1923, under the 1921 [[Railways Act 1921|Railways Act]], the GER was merged with other railway companies to form the [[London and North Eastern Railway]] (LNER).  As part of the 1935–1940 [[New Works Programme]] of the [[London Passenger Transport Board]], the majority of the loop was transferred from the LNER to form the eastern extensions of the Central line. Although work commenced in 1938, it was suspended upon the outbreak of the [[Second World War]] in 1939 and only recommenced in 1946.

Steam train services serving Hainault were suspended on 29 November 1947. From 14 December 1947, the line from [[Newbury Park tube station|Newbury Park]] to Hainault was electrified to allow empty train movements to the new depot at [[Hainault depot|Hainault]]. Electrified Central line passenger services, to Central London via [[Gants Hill tube station|Gants Hill]], finally commenced on 31 May 1948. The services to [[Woodford tube station|Woodford]] via [[Grange Hill tube station|Grange Hill]] were reintroduced on 21 November 1948.

Alterations at Hainault included a new island platform on the west side of the station, to allow the bulk of services via Gants Hill to be terminated there as well as allowing access to Hainault Depot. Situated to the north of the station, Hainault is the major train depot at the eastern end of the line. The depot building was completed in 1939 but was used by the [[US Army Transportation Corps]] until 1945. It came into use for Central line stock on 14 December 1947.

From the mid-1960s until the early 1990s, the Woodford-Hainault section was largely operated separately from the rest of the Central line, using four-car (later three-car) trains of [[London Underground 1960 Stock|1960 Stock]].<ref name=centralline>[http://citytransport.info/Central.htm Railfanning London's Railways – Central line]</ref> The three-car units had a middle carriage of 1938 tube stock. The trains were adapted for [[Automatic train operation|Automatic Train Operation]] (ATO), and the Woodford-Hainault section became the testing ground for ATO on the [[Victoria line]].<ref name=centralline /> Some Victoria line 1967 Stock trains were also used to operate that section<ref name=centralline /> and named FACT (Fully Automatic Controlled Train). That separate operation has now been discontinued, the 1960 Stock has been withdrawn, and through trains to Central London now operate via Hainault.<ref name=hainaultstn>[https://pipsrailway.wordpress.com/2013/10/13/on-the-branch-line-from-woodford-to-hainault/ On the branch line…from Woodford to Hainault]</ref> The 1960 Stock, along with the rest of the Central line's [[London Underground 1962 Stock|1962 Stock]], has been superseded by trains of [[London Underground 1992 Stock|1992 Stock]].

==Station improvements==
The station has recently been the focus of a refurbishment programme. The ticket office has been refurbished, a new Station Supervisor's Office in the ticket hall was completed in June 2009 and lifts have been installed to allow step-free access to the platforms.<ref name=stepfree /><ref>((cite web |url=https://content.tfl.gov.uk/step-free-tube-guide-map.pdf |title=Step-free Tube Guide |publisher= [[Transport for London]] |date=December 2023 |access-date=8 February 2024))</ref> The lifts are the shallowest on the London Underground network, having a descent of just ((convert|18|in)).<ref>((Cite book|title=Tube Station Trivia|last=Marshall|first=Geoff|year=2018|page=16))</ref>
