19th May 1982

The view from the Boleyn Road bridge of Western Junction at Dalston on 19 May 1982. A Cravens twin is ambling past the 1891-built North London Railway box, working between North Woolwich and Camden Road. Behind the camera, Dalston Kingsland station was under construction, opening a year later, whilst beyond the train, the lines to Broad Street head off towards the south. These were closed in 1986, only to be put back in 2010 to form the East London Line Extension. The box survives. Kevin Lane.

12th April 1985

Vehicle: 53360   

A couple of hundred feet away from this location - Dalston Western Junction - was my Junior school (St Judes) - I had special permission from the Headmaster to be the only boy allowed to carry out my trainspotting hobby in the girls playground on the roof of the school ...!! In those days the only passenger trains over the route during school hours were the Broad St - Richmond services operated by Class 501 EMUs on the nearest tracks. There was no station (Dalston Kingsland) behind the signal box as that route was freight only and there was plenty of it with Classes 15/20/25/31/33/37 and 47s a regular sight. Scroll on 15 years or so to 12th April 1985 and here is the 1343 North Woolwich - Gospel Oak service accelerating away from the Dalston Kingsland stop, passing the box at Western Jn, formed of a Class 105 with E53360 + E54449. Known as the "Crosstown Linkline" service it ran from Camden Road - North Woolwich and operated from 14th May 1979 - 11th May 1985. Nigel Mack.
