MY LIFE IN TRAINS
Lineside and Station Sequences
Part Twenty Seven
Ponders End – 14 April 1961
My next outing began at Ponders End, which started well with four steam classes, two of which dated back to the Great Eastern Railway before the grouping. Then things went downhill, with three Brush Type 2s.
No wonder I moved on to Stratford.
