History
Upney, High Upney and Low Upney arguably lost their identity when they were swallowed up by the town of Barking. They apparently lost that identity after the station opened, as Upney was shown on an Ordnance Survey map fully revised in 1932, when the area was less built-up than it is today.
Upney station was opened in 1932 when the electrified District line was extended to Upminster from Barking. The station was constructed and initially operated by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway with services provided by the District line from the outset.
