Dagenham Heathway
LU S7 stock on a District Line service from Upminster to Richmond heading away from the camera as it departs from Dagenham Heathway on 24th June 2021. Travelling from Barking, this is the second island platform station after Upney provided by the LMSR when it quadrupled the ex-LTSR line between Barking and Upminster, opening as simply Heathway on 12th September 1932. It was renamed Dagenham Heathway in 1949 at the same time as Dagenham station, the next stop east, was renamed Dagenham East. On the left is the C2C line from Shoeburyness to Fenchurch Street. (For further details of this eastern section of the District Line, see my photo of Elm Park station, image no. 80553).
