1983 - Clean Cravens, at Silvertown.
BR Cravens - Class 105 - DMU at Silvertown station in March 1983, with a service from North Woolwich to Camden Road.
The line was later electrified - with DC third-rail - and linked up with the North London line, and operated with ex-SR slam-door EMUs, and later with Class 133 dual-voltage EMUs.
The last Class 105 was withdrawn from BR service in 1988, and today (2019) only one two-car unit and a trailer have survived into preservation.
The station closed when passenger services ended in 2006, and today, this is the trackbed of the new 'Elizabeth Line'.
