Maryland railway station
Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAR : Maryland railway station
Maryland railway station is located in Maryland, an area of Stratford, in the London Borough of Newham in East London. It is just east of Stratford station in Travelcard Zone 3, on the Great Eastern Main Line, and is served by 'one' metro services between Liverpool Street and Shenfield.
The station is in a relatively poor state of repair, and is only manned during peak hours. Trains depart in each direction approximately every 10 minutes.
Maryland station is on the planned Crossrail route. Originally only a peak-hour service to Liverpool Street was proposed. Platforms are too small for Crossrail's 10-car trains, and cannot be easily lengthened. However, Newham Council, the London Transport Users Committee and others petitioned for a full service, which could be enabled by preventing some outer carriage doors from opening. An agreement was reached (preventing the need for any discussion by the select committee), and assurances were given both about the stopping of services at Maryland, and about improving access to the station.
