Maryland railway station is located in Maryland, an area of Stratford, in the London Borough of Newham in East London, England. It was originally known as Maryland Point, and is just east of Stratford station in Travelcard Zone 3, on the Great Eastern Main Line. It was first opened on 6 January 1873, adopting its current name on 28 October 1940.[3] Of the four platforms, those serving the fast lines are only in operation during engineering works affecting the slow lines.
The station is one of the primary rail access points for the residential areas in the north of Stratford and the south of Leytonstone in east London. The area surrounding the station has seen much redevelopment in recent years, and has been earmarked for further improvements.

London Bus route 69, 257, 308 and night route N8.
Future
Maryland station was added to the planned Crossrail route in August 2006, after campaigning by Newham Council, the London Transport Users Committee and others. Platforms are too small for Crossrail's 10-car trains, and cannot easily be lengthened, but a full service will be provided using Selective Door Operation, such that doors on some carriages will remain closed. An agreement was also reached about improving access to the station.
Services
The station is served by National Express East Anglia metro services between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. Trains depart in each direction approximately every 10 minutes.
