My 1971 Q stock photo shows the second platform out of use even

The second platform closed in 1928.
The track was removed soon after through services to Liverpool
Street ceased in 1966.

I can remember the track being used by through freight in "F"
stock days.

I am not old enough to remember 1928. I wonder how soon after 1966?
I must have just been there very briefly in the 1970s, seen the space
through a crowd and assumed that there was a track in the other
platform.

You could have thought there was track if you didn't see the ground. The
other platform didn't look that derelict.
