Waterloo East
376019 with 376012, from Charing Cross to Hayes (Kent), arriving at its first stop at Waterloo East station on 16th February 2019. This station was opened as Waterloo Junction on the Charing Cross Railway of 1864, on 1st January 1869, replacing the 1864 Blackfriars station just to the east, to provide better interchange with the LSWR's Waterloo terminus of 1848. Initially a rail connection linked the two but the bridge across Waterloo Road was later converted into a footbridge and the rail link severed. The station was renamed Waterloo in conjunction with the ex-LSWR terminus on 7th July 1935 and was further renamed Waterloo East on 2nd May 1977. There is a pedestrian escalator and subway connection from this station to LUL's Southwark station on the Jubilee Line Extension, opened in 1999. Part of the London Eye, a.k.a. the Millennium Wheel, can be seen in the top right background.
