The train is on the ex-Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway viaduct, extending from Woodgrange Park to Walthamstow Queens Road. This scene has changed with the installation of masts and overhead wires although passengers are still waiting for the full service of new electric trains, promised over a year ago. As of now, the service has been cut to half-hourly with class 378 e.m.u.s brought in as temporary replacements. 2/13</p><p>05/05/2012<br><small><a href='/contributors/David_Bosher'>David Bosher</a></small></p> <h4><a href='/locations/W/Walthamstow_Queens_Road'>Walthamstow Queens Road</a></h4><p><small><a href='/companies/T/Tottenham_and_Forest_Gate_Railway'>Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway</a></small></p><p>172006 with a London Overground GOBLIN service to Gospel Oak arriving at Walthamstow Queen's Road station, on 19th May 2012.

This station, where the original atmospheric wooden platform buildings and canopies were torn down in the 1970s and replaced by draughty bus-stop style shelters, was opened as Leyton by the Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway, which linked the Tottenham & Hampstead Junction Railway at South Tottenham with the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway at Woodgrange Park, on 9th July 1894. The suffix Midland Road was added post-nationalisation by BR Eastern Region in 1949. The scene here is now very different with masts and overhead wires in place. After several delays the EMUs arrived in 2019 and the class 172 units went to West Midlands Trains. 4/13</p><p>05/03/2013<br><small><a href='/contributors/David_Bosher'>David Bosher</a></small></p> <h4><a href='/locations/C/Crouch_Hill'>Crouch Hill</a></h4><p><small><a href='/companies/T/Tottenham_and_Hampstead_Junction_Railway'>Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway</a></small></p><p>172006, with a London Overground GOBLIN service from Gospel Oak to Barking, calling at Crouch Hill station in north London, on the cold and snowy afternoon of Sunday, 20th January 2013. 5/13</p><p>20/01/2013<br><small><a href='/contributors/David_Bosher'>David Bosher</a></small></p> <h4><a href='/locations/B/Birmingham_Moor_Street'>Birmingham Moor Street</a></h4><p><small><a href='/companies/S/Snow_Hill_and_Moor_Street_Great_Western_Railway'>Snow Hill and Moor Street (Great Western Railway)</a></small></p><p>172344, heading for Whitlock's End, departing from Birmingham Moor Street station in heavy rain on 18th March 2014. 6/13</p><p>18/03/2014<br><small><a href='/contributors/David_Bosher'>David Bosher</a></small></p> <h4><a href='/locations/J/Jewellery_Quarter'>Jewellery Quarter</a></h4><p><small><a href='/companies/B/Birmingham,_Wolverhampton_and_Dudley_Railway_Great_Western_Railway'>Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Dudley Railway (Great Western Railway)</a></small></p><p>172333, on a service to Kidderminster, arriving at Jewellery Quarter station, Birmingham, on 18th March 2014.
