Where abouts is Plaistow station http://www.derelictlondon.com/id7.htm

I use it frequently but can't recall seeing that site. And my OS map
of Plaistow in the late 1800s has the station in the same place as
where it is now, IIRC.



Where the station is now, there used to be platforms on the
London,Tilbury and Southend tracks, which were closed, I think at the
time of the electrification in about 1960. The derelict platforms can
still be seen at several of the stations on the line.


Except at West Ham, which was re-opened and trains stop there again.
All the stations between Barking and West Ham have this derelict
platform, such a waste.
