Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2023 11:26 am
I have always been curious of when steam finally finished at the various London terminal stations if anyone can fill in the missing years?.
1.Kings Cross 1963 although the occasional main line steam workings still arrived at Kings Cross during 1964
2.Broad Street ????
3.Liverpool Street maybe in 1959?
4.Fenchurch Street the LT&S electrification was 'switched on' in 1962
5.Cannon Street ????
6.London Bridge ????
7.Charring Cross maybe in 1961 probably on completion of the north Kent coast electrification project?
8.Victoria possibly during 1961 probably on completion of the Kent electrification project?. The last steam hauled 'Golden Arrow' ran in June 1961
9.Waterloo July 1967
10.Paddington in the summer of 1965 although WR steam officially finished on 31/12/65
11.Marylebone September 1966 Stanier black 5s worked the semi-fast services out of Marylebone to Rugby & Leicester until the end of August 1966
