Description

Volume 4 Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness

After glimpses of the Docklands Light Railway our train heads through Limehouse and Gas Factory Junction towards Bow Junction. At Forest gate Junction we head for Barking and the former Tilbury and Southend mainline, whose stations as far as Upminster have for many years been served solely by London Underground. Beyond Upminutester we call at West Horndon, Laindon, Basildon, Pitsea, Benfleet, Leigh on Sea, Chalkwell, Westcliff. Southend Central, Southend East, and Thorpe Bay before terminating at Shoeburyness, eastern terminus of this busy commuter railway.

Volume 5 Southend to Fenchurch Street

Volume five features the return journey to London and forms a continuation from Volume 4. This time however the return journey is completed via Tilbury. From the cab we witness junctions and stations along the route. Private sidings and disused facilities are also mentioned. Fenchurch Street is reached in good time.

Volume 6 Shenfield to Liverpool Street

After leaving Shenfield we journey along the old Great Eastern mainline to Liverpool Street. The stations en route include Brentwood, Harold Wood, Gidea Park, Romford, Chadwell Heath, Goodmayes, Seven Kings, (past Ilford depot), Manor Park and through Forest Gate Junction. After numerous other locations we arrive at the very much altered and redeveloped Liverpool Street terminus. All change please!
