St James Street
Nobody could fail to notice that, since 2015, St. James Street station (the thoroughfare is actually called St. James's Street) on the Chingford branch in Walthamstow, east London, has been part of the London Overground network. The station opened in 1870 and while the original platforms have been seriously ruined by replacement of the original Victorian buildings and canopies, the station entrance at street level is more or less as constructed, apart from the new Overground signs. The line was electrified in 1960, the same year that saw trolleybuses swept away from east London so as the wires were going up across the bridge, they were coming down from underneath.
