- An enormous timeline video detailing about Stratford Station with a few bits of trivia to be spotted around the station and everywhere else in the area and rail complex.
This video took me over 6 months to complete. One of my biggest projects ever. But its finally out and I hope you enjoy it.

that was a lot of fun and very infirmative
Good video
1 and 2 were not the only platform numbers to move at Stratford; there used to be a different platform 13. Platform 12 used to be an island, with the other side being platform 13. Overground platform 2 track now cuts into where platform 13 was. Platforms 12/13 had been taken out of use at some time and the subway leading to them bricked up beyond the stairs up to platform 11. The track through platform 13 remained in place and was sometimes used by locomotives entering the depot.
Earlier in your video you showed the old station entrance. Part of this can still be seen if you look to the right when going up the stairs to the Stratford City footbridge. Inside this entrance there was a subway straight ahead leading to platforms 9 - 13 as they were, with a blue enamel sign to this effect in the subway with the 3 painted out and replaced by a 1 when platforms 12 and 13 were taken out of use. I don’t know for certain when these platforms closed, but I would guess that it was probably when the Central Line took over the Ongar branch. If you turned left inside the old entrance you entered a long subway below platform 3/5 with steps up to these platforms straight ahead at the end of it. A short passage to the right led to the stairs up to 6/8. This short passage was extended and now forms the central subway. The old subway to the high numbered platforms is what was abandoned and then re-opened as the Eastern one. The Western subway was built new. Just before the steps from the long subway up to 3/5 you could go left onto platform 2, now 17, with a small footbridge over the low level lines to 1, now 16.
By the time I knew the station you did not exit the old building at street level but continued through at subway level under the road to come up just inside the Stratford Centre. Which I think was built in about 1970. What is now the main entrance to the Stratford Centre was just an emergency exit then.
Stratford, both the station and the area in general was a pretty terrible place back in the ‘70s. Only platforms 3, 5, 6 and 8 saw significant use in the high level, with 1 and 2 in the low level serving the little known, and little used, North Woolwich to Totten Hale service, which ran to Palace Gates until 1963.
Much has changed since those days.
Good history. Why didn't I think of that
I admire the amount of effort you put into these. Great job
Thank you
Brilliant video
Great video 👍
It desperately needs better toilet facilities!
Definitely
I can recall the announcement long time ago for Waterloo station saying "change here for bakerloo line, jubilee line and national rail services. Change here for Waterloo international." Which fits better for Stratford because Eurostars do not stop there.
It doesn't because there is no way to access Waterloo Intl from Stratford Intl
@@avglondonproductions9225 sorry I meant to say the announcement could mention the international station this way.

Really love you video, very informative and well prepared.
If I could suggest sth, perhaps you could limit a bit those 'umm's' (especially in 23:20) Perhaps you can talk slower to avoid these gaps. No hate ,just an idea to sound more professional ☺️
For me um comes automatically, don't take it personal
Too bad c2c only has one platform
It has platform 5 and 8 that it shares with the Elizabeth line...
two not one
