Default Question about Broad Street

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.


NW - Stratford and Tottenham Hale, wasn't it?


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.

Watford via Primrose Hill for a while, I think 3 trains per peak
originally. The three-car units seemed very short in Liverpool St. By
the end there was a single Watford - Liverpool St. in the morning,
returning to Willesden Junction LL. Don't know if there was a
corresponding evening service.
