Before Crossrail Elizabeth Line : Episode 5 Pudding Mill Lane (Great Eastern Main Line)

2nd July 2022
Before Crossrail / Elizabeth Line is a short series looking back at key locations on the Elizabeth Line before Crossrail or even TfL rail was a thing.
Episode 5 : Pudding Mill lane, filmed from the original Pudding Mill Lane Docklands Light Railway station featuring First Great Eastern Class 315's, 321's & 360's, One Railway Class 90's, 170's 315's and of course the DLR. The original Pudding Mill station closed on the 18th April 2014 and demolished to make way for the Crossrail Elizabeth Line tunnel portals to be built.
Filmed on a Sony MiniDV camcorder.

Ah I remember the changeover between WAGN and "ONE" very well! Multiple liveries with the 315's and I loved it at the time. This must be between 2006/2007? Thanks for the memories!

I'm curious about the purple 315.

[@richardavsmith]

Ah, now that I think about it, presumably ex-WAGN.

[@railwayadventureswithleigh6040]

@@richardavsmith your right this particular unit in the video would've likely have have been either 315844 to 315861

Also, what do you think of Croydon's Tramlink. I wish trams and light rail was all over London, like in the early 1900s

[@BPMR]

I used to be a tram driver on the Croydon system years ago. Trams always held a soft spot for me. I believe that the money spent on Crossrail could have paid for a large tram system for London. Unfortunately the two London Tram schemes from the early 2000's, the West London Trams and Cross River Trams were both scrapped by TfL due to a lack of funding and support despite serious planning and finances going into them. An extension to the Croydon Tramlink from Harrington Road to Crystal Palace were also scrapped at the same time as the other two schemes. However there are plans for a line between Wimbledon South and Sutton which seem to be stuck in limbo at the moment but have not been officially dropped.
