Eastern Counties Railway
The Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) began operating on June 20 1839 with a train service from a temporary terminus at Mile End to Romford, and working to a gauge of five feet. The line was extended the following year to a new terminus at Shoreditch (later renamed Bishopsgate); and the line was subsequently extended to the 51 miles between London and Colchester.
