	London, Tilbury and Southend Railway
		It was a joint project between the Midland Railway and the LTSR, the Midland contributing by far the bulk of the capital.
		The LTSR was hampered by the fact that it did not have its own terminus in London, rather it shared Fenchurch Street station with the Great Eastern Railway where it was allowed to use one platform only.
		The LTSR was a small railway and although it was run very efficiently and made good profits, it was ripe for take over by a larger concern.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: London
		London, the capital of England and chief city of the British Empire, is situated about fifty miles from the mouth of the Thames, Lat.
		London at this time consisted of a collection of low wooden houses thatched with reeds or straw, thus affording combustible material for the numerous and destructive fires which frequently broke out, as in 1087 when the greater part of the city, including St. Paul's, was burnt.
		London under the Hanoverian kings lost the beauty it formerly had and became a vast collection of houses, plain but comfortable, a condition from which it is only now successfully emerging.

		Midland ownership caused the LMS to have a curious outpost in LNE territory, this odd arrangement not being put right until the formation of British Railways in 1948, after which it was transferred to the Eastern Region.
		The loop was controlled by a 19-lever frame basically of Railway Signal Company design (similar to Caergwrle), although all of those found in LTS boxes had an unusual backward kink in the catch-handle.
		The large red contraption to the left is a switching-out instrument, allowing the box to be closed during quiet periods, and allowing the railway to be worked as one single line section between Upminster East Junction and West Thurrock Junction.

		The purpose of this book is to trace in some detail the history of Southend’s Kursaal, and hopefully - for those many millions who visited - rekindle some memories of the south's greatest amusement park.

		Unfortunately, the parent company of London Tilbury and Southend Rail, c2c--known as carriages too crowded--had scrapped much of its old slam-door stock, which was about 40 years old, so when the new class 357s were taken out of service old stock had to be reintroduced.
		The railway crosses my constituency at Rainham and I was a founder member of the Rainham rail users group--superb campaigners who put pressure on c2c and LTS, unfortunately without much effect.
