The disused part of the platform at Upminster Bridge Underground station
The London, Tilbury & Southend Railway opened its line from Forest Gate via Barking and Dagenham Dock to Tilbury in 1854. In 1858 the company opened a cut off between Bow and Barking.
What is now the C2C line was opened in 1885 by the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway between Barking and Upminster, and a station was opened at Dagenham (East) the same year. No further stations opened on the line until Gale Street Halt (now Becontree) in 1926, followed by Hornchurch, Heathway (later renamed Dagenham Heathway from 1st May 1949) and Upney on 12th September 1932. On the same date as these stations opened in 1932, the District line was extended over new tracks alongside the existing line between Barking and Upminster. The present C2C line therefore dates from 1885 and the present District line from 1932. Upminster Bridge station was opened on 17th December 1934.
This view from the end of the up and down platform looks to the fenced off and derelict part of the platform. Several of the stations along this stretch of the District line have disused parts of the platforms at their London end - see also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4859706 The two C2C lines are to the left. Hornchurch is the next station in this direction. This was a very wet day with frequent showers.

District Line Track
Looking towards Hornchurch from Upminster Bridge station. The platforms are longer than required by current services and this photo is taken from the limit of public access. The bridge in the distance carries Hacton Lane over the railway.
