White City was opened on November 11 , 1927 as Coursing Platform, and was renamed White City on August 25 , 1929 . It was converted to a regular suburban station in December 1949 . It primarily existed to service local industry (in particular the Olympic Tyres factory) and the Greyhound Racing track in the area. The station only ever had a westbound platform, even though at its peak, fifty services a week stopped at the station. Due to its proximity to Tottenham station, White City's Signals were operated from there. In the early 1980s , Tottenham station underwent renovations. The line was raised in order to avoid the level crossing at Ashley Street. A new high-level island platform was built there, and it was decided to remove the nearby White City station as a result. On October 4 , 1981 , White City was officially closed. It was later demolished, and no trace of its presence remains today.
