When the Victoria line was being planned, this station was going to be the end of the line instead of Walthamstow Central station.[1] A decision was made in 1961 which meant that this did not happen.[1] If this station had become the end of the Victoria line, the building would have been on the surface next to the British Railways station.[1]
