In the early 1980's Stratford maintained roughly 12 x 2-car Cravens DMU sets for diesel services in the Greater London area of the Eastern/Anglia region. These were Camden Road to North Woolwich, Stratford to Tottenham Hale and Romford to Upminster. A few class 104's and later 116 sets were also at Stratford for the Wickford to Southminster branch. Both Southminster and Upminster went over to EMU operation from 12/05/86. The Romford-Upminster branch operation is seen here at Upminster station the Class 105 attract little custom while waiting to form the 14:11 to Romford. The single track 3½ mile long line had one intermediate station at Emerson Park was operated on a one train working basis and the same set would shuttle up and down the branch all day providing a 30min interval service. Although appearing to link the GE and LT&S mainlines there was no physical connection at Upminster as the branch train platform was on the north side of the LT District line.
