I note that 21146 has got some good new pics of the siding up on his excellent picture site, as viewed from the West Ham side.

Does anyone have any pics from the other side of it; there appears to be a bridge near that end for example?

Also how long roughly is the siding, is it only long enough to hold a train length or slightly more?

Many thanks

The siding can only hold a single train.

The bridge you mention is part of something know locally as the "Greenway" - wikipedia, for all it's faults, has an accurate article on it (click here) - so it's probably possible to get images from here but its perhaps not the sort of bridge you might have thought it was....
