[edit] History
The station was opened as "Theydon" by the Great Eastern Railway on April 24, 1865. It was renamed "Theydon Bois" on December 1, 1865. Central Line trains first served the station on September 25, 1949. It has one of the longest platforms on the entire Underground, as the station was originally built and used by dairy farmers serving London. 'Milk trains' to Liverpool Street and Broad Street were a regular feature in the timetable until the underpass from Leyton to Stratford was built.
[edit] The station today
As of 5 February 2006, the station is one of the first on the network to operate without a staffed ticket office.[1]
