Despite BR trains ceasing to call at Plaistow in 1962, leaving it with two disused platforms, out of view on the right, these Eastern Region UP and Down signs at the foot of the stairwell to the surviving westbound LUL District and Hammersmith & City Lines platforms survive, 53 years after the station passed from BR to London Transport control. The station had remained in BR ownership until 1969. Similar Up and Down signs are still in situ at the top of this stairwell and at the top and bottom of the stairwell to and from the surviving eastbound LU platform. This view is on 2nd July 2021.
