Silvertown station - a photo on Flickriver

Silvertown station

            May 1973. The gas lighting, wooden platform and faded paint don't do much to attract custom. Though all any customers could do anyway was board a wheezing and infrequent DMU which didn't go very far....
The industry in the background is mostly Tate & Lyle's sugar refinery. Amazingly this still functions today. 
Until not long before I took this picture there was a signal box  perched above the station building, above the blue 'Silvertown' nameboard.
