In the video I do not see the inside car line diagrams that

They are definitely there - I travelled on the ELL this afternoon. The
whole set-up is very impressive, with the rather gloomy exception of
Dalston Junction, which reminds me of Birmingham New Street or
Sunderland about seven years ago.


I traveled on the WLL later on in the day, the line diagrams on the 378
I rode on made no mention of the ELL at all, not even as "under
construction".

I was on the WLL on Monday too and at Shepherds Bush I picked up a
pretty good leaflet about the ELL project. So they do know about each
other...
