Hackney Wick railway station is on the North London Line and on the boundary between the London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Hackney, in East London. It is in Travelcard Zone 2. The station and all trains serving it are operated by London Overground. It opened in May 1980 on the re-routed line which bypassed the site of the former Victoria Park station as part of the CrossTown Link line between North Woolwich and Camden Road stations. The station on 29 December 1985 was the site of one of the murders of the serial rapists John Duffy and David Mulcahy.

Service

As part of the programme to introduce four-car trains on the London Overground network, the North London line between Gospel Oak and Stratford closed in February 2010; reopening 1 June 2010. This is to enable the installation of a new signalling system and the extension of 30 platforms. Engineering work will continue until May 2011, during which reduced services will operate and Sunday services will be suspended.[3]

The typical service at the station is 4 trains per hour westbound to Richmond via Hackney, Highbury, Camden Road and Willesden, and 4 trains per hour eastbound to Stratford.

Until 9 December 2006, when the line from Stratford to North Woolwich was closed to be converted to a Docklands Light Railway line, the eastbound service ran to North Woolwich.
