Good news. It's the physical manifestation of some outlandish plans,
in fact. But I think it'll genuinely serve a purpose, and will quickly
become a routine part of London's transport infrastructure - indeed,
half of it already was, but the annexation of the defunct alignment
into Broad Street (defunct no longer) really means the old ELL route
can realise some of its until now unexploited potential.


Not everyone's happy, it seems:

Is this just the fag end of some dispute the RMT were having about whether
it should be tube or rail, from about 5/6 years ago?
