Talking of Broad Street, what happenned to the services that used to
operate into this station? I also see, from looking elsewhere that
Broad Street had an Underground station. What happenned to this?

As I understand it, the Palace Gates to North Woolwich and Richmond to Broad
Street services were merged to become Richmond to North Woolwich. The Palace
Gates branch closed a while ago, so there was presumably a period when there
was just a Dalston Junction (or thereabouts) to North Woolwich shuttle.

Once Broad Street closed, there was no main line access to the North London
Line (ie from a BR-owned terminus); passengers from Central London had to
use tube lines such as the Victoria from KX to Highbury and Islington or the
Northern line from Euston to Kentish Town.

I remember in the 80s or 90s (after Broad Street had closed and the new
offices bult on the site) there was an occasional service from Liverpool
Street via the newly-built Graham Road curve (north of Cambridge Heath) onto
the NLL. I'm not sure whether it went to Richmond or whether it branched off
onto the WCML to go to Watford Junction.

Wasn't the Broad Street underground station simply another exit from
Liverpool Street underground? I can't see any mention in Douglas Rose's map
of a separate station.
