Haggerston – A Simple Viaduct Station

Haggerston station is on the East London Line. It sits on top of the Kingsland Viaduct that used to take the line between Dalston Junction and Broad Street.

The platforms and the access are about as simple as you can get, but they are not of a low quality and standard.

Hoxton station which is the next one south on the line is similar.

I must have gone through the old Hoxton and Haggerston stations several times, when in the 1980s, I took the East and North London Lines to get to Stonebridge Park, where Metier’s offices were situated.

I can remember slam-door trains smelling of urine, but that could have been from earlier times.
