Located on the main line out of London from Liverpool Street, Coborn Road station was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1865.
The first station closed in 1919 with permanent closure following in 1946, with passengers now being served by the nearby Bow Road station on the District Line, Mile End on the District line and Central Line and the more recent Bow Church station on the DLR.
I spotted the station remains at the end of my Olympic stadium walk on Saturday, and grabbed a All that remains of the station now is this entrance façade and the tracks above being around a long-gone platform.

Coburn Road L.N.E.R. station was destroyed by a Doodlebug (V1) in 1944, causing the
trains to terminate and us struggling to complete the journey as best we might
incognito is incorrect. The 1944 V1 destroyed the bridge over Grove Road. Coborn Road station was not affected, although its Grove Road entrance may have closed. The station eventually closed in 1946, being effectively replaced by Mile End Central Line.
That’s correct, the blast blew out the windows where I lived. I have caught a train with my parents to Southend from coburn rd station
