	Barking - Gospel Oak
		The line was originally two separate schemes: the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway (authorised 1862) and the Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway (sanctioned 1890).
		The line went into a kind of decaying limbo: trains were formed of hand-me-down stock with varying degrees of reliability, one by one the crumbling station canopies and buildings were demolished and replaced with basic structures (and then progressively destaffed).
		Both platforms suffered from subsidence; in the 90s the westbound one was shortened at the eastern end and extended at the western end to compensate, while the eastbound had to be completely demolished and rebuilt.

		This completed a connection all the way from Gospel Oak to Barking, allowing services to run from the London, Tilbury and Southend stop in Barking to interchanges with lines heading to places north of London.
		Although the line's popularity dropped during the 1960s and the line fell into disrepair, services continued along the line and have since improved due to the way in which the line bypasses the centre of London.
		During its life as a separate entity the line was never electrified, with diesel trains serving the stations, making the line seem like a rural line that had been accidentally dropped into the suburbs of London.
