Now we have sent many pictures into the 'Gallery' of trains at Stratford Station but this is the first one showing the view of the station from outside. Londond Underground's Central Line runs alongside the main line 'ONE' services at the main station. To the left or south end the Docklands Light Railway terminates whilst behind the Red LT Bus Roundel in the picture is Stratford Low Level from which North London Line overground services operate. Alongside this is the end of the new Jubilee Line extension. What cannot be seen in this picture however is what is going on behind...partly on the site of the old depot...the construction of Stratford International. In a year or so Eurostar services will run into London's St.Pancras Station and trains will stop and possibly start from here as well. There cannot be many...if any...stations in Britain that have this variety of trains arriving which will soon be on the International map when the Eurostars finally start.
