what's this about haunted?

'The station is haunted at night with LU staff seeing a woman in white who has no face.'

seems like this should be changed to 'LU staff have reported seeing...' or somesuch, but i couldn't find anything relevant when searching the web for 'Becontree haunted'. is there a citation for this? Mathtinder 01:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LTS Railway

I think the level of detail about LTSR given here is too much for an article about one station and it should be in the article on the line (probably already is).

However, I am questioning the point about "a direct route between the two cities". What two cities? London is the only city on the line. Southend may get city status in 2022 but that can hardly be what the author means.--82.47.135.239 (talk) 03:39, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
