313119, from Stratford to Richmond, arriving at Highbury & Islington station on 7th June 2008, 8 months after the line became part of the London Overground. This was before the class 378 units came into service and passengers were still having to travel in these tired units from the much-maligned Silverlink regime. These platforms are now used by terminating trains to south London via part of the former Broad Street viaduct that reopened in April 2010. All Stratford, Richmond and Clapham Junction trains now serve two rebuilt platforms on the north side of the station, left in this view.
