Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2006 9:25 pm Post subject: Tilbury Riverside (Closure)
Sunday 29th November 1992 was to a few, a very sad day on this line and especially the LT&SR Enthusiasts at the time as this was the day of closure of the station and so services to and from there.
Pictured below is a 310 approaching the terminus on the afternoon of this sad day. I was honoured to already be there to get some more pictures that I will add on to this thread. I was also acting as a Steward to ensure nothing was stolen from the station, or what was left of it.
I was also on the very last service to leave from here and admit, I WAS choked. _________________ Once the misery line, but now passed on to another.

Below is the tower and clock of the station booking hall where millions of boat passengers once passed through when sailing abroad, with some of them off to start a new life, perhaps in Australia.
Another view of part of the station.

Another view from outside the station area and looking towards the terminus.
This picture was taken of the platforms at the London side of the station and shows the appalling state it was allowed to get in over the last few months.
Looking from the Southend side, you can see just as much vegetation had been allowed to accumulate.

First picture of the booking office, on the final day.
This is the second and to the left of the first.
Where I went wrong, I never got a ticket from the Quickfare machine there and should have done. _________________ Once the misery line, but now passed on to another.
