[8] The station is currently the only completely new station to be built along the route of the former Broad Street branch of the North London line under the East London line extension project, although it is located on the tracks leading to the former Shoreditch (Dunloe Street) Depot, which was closed in 1968.

[9] At ground level at the entrance to the station is the First World War memorial commemorating fallen staff of the former North London Railway, which built the section of viaduct that is now the modern East London line through Hoxton.

[10] Originally placed at now-closed Broad Street Station, it was moved to first Richmond and then in 2011 returned to be nearer its former location.

The platforms were originally built to accommodate a train of up to four cars but in 2015 the platforms were extended to accommodate five car electric trains of classes Class 378/1 (third rail shoes only) and 378/2 (third rail shoes and pantograph).

The Ticket office and entrance concourse is located under the viaduct and access to each platform is provided by a lift and stairs.
