In April 1971 Birmingham Moor Street was a sleepy backwater with a handful of services using it. A class 116 waits for the North Warks line. Stephen Burdett.
Silvertown station on 15 June 1971, the train is the 15.33 from Stratford (Low Level) to North Woolwich. The road has changed little since the removal of the trolleybuses a few years earlier. On the right can be seen the tracks of the Silvertown Tramway, which still saw some use, and one of the Tate & Lyle company's vans, in the characteristic dark blue livery that company used to use for its road transport. The brick building with the faded blue nameboard is the base of the former signalbox, and the cutaway in the end of the platform canopy was to enable drivers of up trains to see the lower repeater arms of a tall junction signal which stood roughly where the short wooden fence is in this view. This indicated to drivers whether they were to continue straight on under the subway beneath the dock, or bear left over the swing bridge. The bridge was sometimes preferred for freight trains as the gradients were not so steep. Tom Burnham.
