The station is currently the only completely new station to be built along the route of the former Broad Street branch of the North London Line under the East London Line project, although it is located on the tracks leading to the former Shoreditch (Dunloe Street) Depot, which was closed in 1968.
Stationen er i øjeblikket den eneste fuldstændigt nye station, der er bygget langs ruten for North London Lines tidligere Broad Street-gren i East London Line-projektet, selvom den er beliggende på sporene der fører til det tidligere Shoreditch (Dunloe Street) Depot, der blev lukket i 1968.
