Stratford platform changes

This was a remnant of the link between the Great Eastern and the Metropolitan Railway, was it not? Afraid that's a bit before my time - I've only ever known the 'new' Liverpool St. No, the 'long' platforms were in the middle of the station (9 & 10?) whereas the Met link was at the low-numbered end. OK, I see. Were they the platforms that appear in these photos? http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p10601006.html http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p14105313.html http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p13277464.html Yes If so, are the stairs to that bridge those which are visible to the left hand side of this photo? http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p13277470.html Possibly so. I must admit that my memories of the old Liverpool Street are fading somewhat. Thanks. I often find myself racking my brain to remember how a place looked before it all changed - the new reality is very effective in swamping out the old memory. |
