Buckhurst Hill
Buckhurst Hill station, Essex, LUL Central Line, looking towards central London on 10th October 2014. This line was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway from Stratford to Loughton on 22nd August 1856, becoming part of the Great Eastern Railway in 1862. The GER extended from Loughton to Ongar on 24th April 1865 and in 1892 opened the present station, just north of the original which was closed. The 1856 building can be seen in the far background and it has a short piece of low platform in front of it. Between the two was Queens Road level crossing, which was abolished when LU electrification was extended from Woodford to Loughton on 21st November 1948. Growing up in Loughton and still living at home with my parents, for the first few years after leaving school I travelled through this station every weekday on the LU 1962 stock trains when commuting to and from Holborn for work.
