Buckhurst Hill
Buckhurst Hill station in Essex, opened by the GER in 1892, replacing the earlier Eastern Counties station of 1856 and seen here looking towards Epping on 10th October 2014. Central Line tube trains began running through here when they were extended from Woodford to Loughton on 21st November 1948. Growing up in Loughton, I would pass through this station on my daily commute to Holborn and back and joining the train at Loughton station was always guaranteed a seat, not so easy for the homeward journey. In those days, the Central Line was in the hands of 1962 stock with their bay seating. These were much preferable to the 1992 stock now running on the line which, like other present day LUL trains, demonstrates TfL's whole-hearted mania for all longitudinal seating which I dislike intensely.
