Snaresbrook, LUL Central Line, looking towards central London, on 27th July 2014. This station, the prettiest in east London, was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway on 22nd August 1856 and first served by tube trains on 14th December 1947 with the extension of electrification from Leytonstone to Woodford. A bay platform once existed on the down side but was closed in 1949 and is now part of the car park. When I still lived at home with my parents and first started work, I went through this station every day on my daily commute from Loughton to Holborn in the then LU 1962 tube stock for about five years until I flew the nest.
