C2C from Barking to Fenchurch Street
At Fenchurch Street, go to the upper deck waiting room. It’s tiny. It has a fireplace. An actual coal fireplace. In 2026. It’s never lit, but it’s there. It’s the most forgotten place in London. You’ll feel like a ghost.
Then walk out to the street. You’re steps from the Tower of London. But the train is already gone. It’s back to Barking, ready for another run. Relentless. Like a heartbeat.
