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. 2/8</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 was known simply as Walthamstow until the opening of the LUL Victoria Line to the nearby Hoe Street station in 1968, which was renamed Walthamstow Central at the same time. 3/8</p><p>19/05/2012<br><small><a href='/contributors/David_Bosher'>David Bosher</a></small></p> <h4><a href='/locations/G/Gospel_Oak'>Gospel Oak</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 to Barking, waiting to depart from Gospel Oak.

The through platforms served by LO services between Stratford and Clapham Junction or Richmond are on the left. Until April 1981, trains from Barking on this line ran to Kentish Town on the Midland Main Line; the section that trains now follow from just west of Upper Holloway to Gospel Oak had been freight only since 1925. This bay platform also dates from the diversion of trains to Gospel Oak in 1981. The freight lines are on the right behind the train which make a junction with the LO electrified lines just to the west of the station, to which this view is looking, in the snow on 20th January 2013. Beyond the station, in the far right background, is Parliament Hill on the north side of the line and which was full of sledgers on this wintry Sunday afternoon and their shouts and squeals of laughter permeated through the blizzard across to the station. 5/8</p><p>20/01/2013<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. 6/8</p><p>20/01/2013<br><small><a href='/contributors/David_Bosher'>David Bosher</a></small></p> <h4><a href='/locations/L/Leyton_Midland_Road'>Leyton Midland Road</a></h4><p><small><a href='/companies/T/Tottenham_and_Forest_Gate_Railway'>Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway</a></small></p><p>172 008, on a London Overground GOBLIN service from Gospel Oak to Barking, at Leyton Midland Road on 5th January 2013. 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. 7/8</p><p>05/03/2013<br><small><a href='/contributors/David_Bosher'>David Bosher</a></small></p> <h4><a href='/locations/H/Harringay_Green_Lanes'>Harringay Green Lanes</a></h4><p><small><a href='/companies/T/Tottenham_and_Hampstead_Junction_Railway'>Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway</a></small></p><p>172001 catches the winter sun as it arrives at Harringay Green Lanes, with a London Overground GOBLIN service from Barking to Gospel Oak, on 17th January 2019.
