Class 105 DMU at Dalston Western Junction

12th April 1985

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.
