Hackney Central
Hackney Central, looking west, on 6th August 2022. This is partly on the site of the old North London Railway's Hackney station that opened in 1850 and closed in 1944 after heavy war damage precipitated the end of the Broad Street to Poplar service. For 35 years this line, through the teeming heart of east London, carried only freight until a diesel passenger service from Stratford to Camden Road was suddenly reinstated in 1979 with Hackney Central opening in 1980. After the closure of Broad Street in 1986, this was electrified and incorporated into the Richmond service, which is now part of the London Overground network.
