LU S7 stock on District Line short working to West Ham at Barking, on Bank Holiday Monday, 2nd May 2022. District Line services between West Ham and Tower Hill were suspended over this long weekend for 'engineering works'. This photo was taken through the windows of a class 357 unit on a C2C Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness service waiting to depart and on which a friend and I travelled to its penultimate stop at Thorpe Bay for a Bank Holiday Monday trip to the seaside, except Southend and Thorpe Bay are actually on the Thames Estuary.
