They were standard stock on the North London before the class 313 units.
Note the window bars added upon transfer from the Southern Region.

this is the mechanical departure indicator from Richmond, photographed
in 1981, showing the stopping pattern for Richmond to Broad Street.

Also South Acton isn't there.

Closed 22 years earlier (1959).

Kentish Town West is also missing. When was
the fire?

1971 - reopened 5 October 1981 (later in the year of Chris's photo).

Note also that Embankment (District) and Camden Road slats are
hand-painted. The former will be because the name was previously Charing
Cross but I didn't know Camden Road once had another name?

Yes, it was Camden Town from 1870 until 1950 (having opened as Camden
Road in 1853).

The station which closed never did re-open.

However, the reason why South Acton is not shown on the North London
Line indicator has already been given - the photo was taken on a Sunday,
and at this time even the remaining South Acton station was closed on
Sundays.

I think he's confusing the District branch with the North London station
that never closed (except the District platform).

Any idea what (if any) services ran up the Lea Valley line from
Stratford
to Tottenham before that? And were there any other such services
after
'64? This bit of line is basically completely disused now (though
there
are plans to use it again), so it's interesting to know how it was
once
used.

I think the Palace Gates - North Woolwich was the only passenger
service using it at the time that the palace Gates branch closed, and
that Tottenham Hale - North Woolwich and finally the Tottenham Hale -
Stratford peak hours shuttle were the only passenger services at that
time.

There was an overnight train from Cambridge to Liverpool Street which
used it in the 70s, I seem to remember it going that way ? Involved a
lot of dossing on London termini if catching it before a railtour !

Stratford was a regular diversionary route for Liverpool Street -
Cambridge trains.
