Emerson Park

Emerson Park on the Romford to Upminster branch, looking towards Romford, on 24th October 2019. This short branch line was opened by the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway in 1893 but Emerson Park Halt did not open until 1909 and despite the UK-wide abolition of the term 'halt' by British Rail in the 1970s, here the word Halt appeared on running-in boards until quite recent times. On 31st May 2015 this line, somewhat curiously, became a completely detached part of the London Overground network.
