Hello,

4 Trains of 1959/62 Tube Stock outside of Shoreditch - i think the images are very old (i think this are the same pictures from Google Earth!) - but the Area is not the MoD Shoeburyness!

on the right/top corner - the Picture below is a "zoom" of this

the silver Doors (the grey roof!) -> are this really Tubetrains!

what is this for a Railway Line (abandoned Railway?) a junction - all Lines ends at "Nowhere"!

greetings

Dennis

I would say [and doubtless will be corrected] it was a MOD Railway, and when they ran it down, allowed BR/rail operators to store their vehicles on its land.

Here is a snap of an Ex-BR class 310.

But a "Single" (and very long) Siding is unknown to me! had the "long" (rail) Line originally another purpose? (Millitary!)
