FENCHURCH STREET LINE (pt.2)

Fenchurch Street station started life as the terminus for the London & Blackwall Railway (L&BR) in 1841. In 1858 it also became the terminus for the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway. These latter services have survived, currently run by c2c.
(The L&BR ceased its passenger services in 1926 although part of its route is now utilised by the Docklands Light Railway.)

When the line was electrified in 1962, many of the stations between Fenchurch Street and Upminster were closed.
