Wanstead Park
Wanstead Park, now part of the GOBLIN section of the London Overground, on 8th July 2021. I remember this station as a youth in the 1960s when it still had its original serrated wooden canopies, swept away in the 1970s and replaced with ghastly bus stop style waiting shelters with no regard for architectural merit and none whatsoever for passenger comfort. The shelters seen now replaced those that replaced the canopies. Similar canopies existed at Leyton Midland Road and Walthamstow (renamed Walthamstow Queen's Road in 1968) while those at Blackhorse Road were removed long before the station was re-sited in 1981 to provide better interchange with the LUL Victoria Line. 710267 heads away from the camera as it departs for Barking.
