The remains of the north side platform at Coborn Road, a mile or so from Liverpool Street, seen from the 10.18 service to Clacton-on-Sea, on 1st June 2021. This station was one of several closed in 1916 as a WWI economy, the others being Bishopsgate Low Level and Globe Road on the main line and Cambridge Heath and London Fields on the Enfield Town, Chingford and Cambridge lines. Bishopsgate Low Level and Globe Road never reopened but the other three all reopened in 1919. However, Coborn Road closed again in 1946 when the first stage of the LUL Central Line extension from Liverpool Street to Stratford rendered it redundant.
