December 2006, two Class 357 units, 357 002 and 357 043, were involved in a minor incident at East Ham Depot when one unit scraped down the side of the other. The damaged units, formed mostly of 357 002 with the driving car of 357 043, were used to form a hybrid unit which was renumbered 357 098

The spur to East Ham, which had been used by a small number of
Tottenham and Forest Gate line services, was closed in 1958 (when the services were diverted to Barking). and the various yards in the Little Ilford area close and tracks re-aligned.

Eastern and Midland Railways and the LT&SR. With the separation of the long distance and District Line traffic, more District trains were able to run and the District line used the electrified
