View NE, towards Chelmsford, Colchester etc. on the ex-GE main line, also Southend (Victoria) to the right. The wires were up here in June 1949, but the electric trains to Shenfield from Liverpool Street did not commence until 26/9/49 and to Southend in 1956, initially at 1,500v DC. (This was converted to 25kV (part at 6.25Kv) in 11/60 and eventually extended to Norwich. The recently introduced 'East Anglian', 09.45 from Yarmouth (Vauxhall) via Norwich and Ipswich, is speeding along towards London behind Thompson B1 4-6-0 No. 61332 (built 6/48, withdrawn 12/62).
