Upminster is an interchange station in the town of Upminster in the London Borough of Havering, East London. It is on the London, Tilbury and Southend line, 15 miles 20 chains (24.5 km) down the line from Fenchurch Street in Central London. It is the eastern terminus of the District line on the London Underground and the eastern terminus of the Liberty line on the London Overground. The station was originally opened on 1 May 1885 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway on a new direct route from London to Southend that avoided Tilbury. It became a junction station in 1892 when a new branch line was opened to Romford. The station was expanded in 1932 by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway with a new entrance and additional platforms constructed to serve the electric District Railway local service which was extended from Barking. The station was expanded again in 1957 and 1958, with a seventh platform added and the main station building given a new facade. The station is managed by c2c and is in London fare zone 6.
