East Ham Depot, Plaistow Sidings - Pic Request Jul 9, 2009 12:27:15 GMT

Post by aadil on Jul 9, 2009 12:27:15 GMT

Dear all

Could someone kindly put up some pics of the East Ham District Line depot before it was taken over by British Rail? I would also like to know if any pics exist of East Ham station when the 3rd bay platform was in use and pics/info to do with that line. Finally, any pics of the sidings in plaistow before the area became a car park would also be appreciated.

Thanks

Aadil

All I can find on the LT Museum's online photo collection are pictures of mangled trains at East Ham Depot

Its interesting how different scenarios that London has endured on its tube have been handled differently by the publics collective conscience.

Here is the said car 54233 at the Buckinghamshire Railway back in June 2005

This is the point at which the two bomb damaged cars were joined.
