Class 105 DMU at Canonbury

14th March 1982

Canonbury station on 14 March 1982. A Cravens Class 105 2-car unit (56455/50362) is just leaving working the 09.00 North Woolwich-Camden Town. I had just alighted from the dmu, having boarded at Stratford. My next train would be a Class 501 emu to take me to Broad Street. Note the poster advertising tickets to Larne for £32 or Belfast for £35. In 2021 Canonbury has 4 platforms, with regular London Overground services on both the North London Line and the East London Line, provided by Class 378 emus. Lewis Bevan.
