That brings back some memories. I travelled the 'misery line' for several years in the 90s. Mainly to Basildon, but also London Fenchurch Street (both from Southend).

RIP David Amess

[@danwoodhouse9290]

it took till 1998 when the first ever sliding door trains arrived on the line
they were called the Class 317's - nothing new about them they were surplus trains from the West Anglia line

[@danielwoodhouse5531]

2:24 its 1991 and the trains still got check seat covering

[@billericaytownfans6121]

How things have changed! This line is run by C2C and is one of the best.

[@richard99cookify]

Yep C2C is class but has definitely also gone a bit downhill in the last 2 years

[@AnytingGoes]

C2c are appalling nowadays and rude customer service

Started commuting to Fenchurch Street from Basildon in 1991. Couldn’t imagine the old slam door trains in today’s safety conscious world - those passengers who used to leap out as the train pulled in so they didn’t have to walk from the front of the train back to the exit.
