| Due to be closed shortly, well worth a visit before this happens [written in sep 06].
Track is jointed giving a pleasant clickety/clack by the train's wheels. there are relics from the past still visible, examples include: delapitated crossing gates for a disused double track at Silvertown disused semaphore bracket at silvertown fascinating railway museum at North Woolwich oh yes, and a plaque at Silvertown marking a station upgrade in 1989 reopened by the Minister for Transport, Michael Portillo...! Future? Well, in my opinion it would be a perfect line for the third rail to remain in situ and run preserved DC stock. What a bright future for the line if preservationists move in. |
