I wanted to say something pithy about this further establishing the line as
part of the urban fabric of London or some such, but failed to come up with
a sentence that didn't sound trite - so I'll just say this is a good thing,
and will help the line become more relevant and more useful to more people.

It'll be interesting to see who uses it most - people who work near
Liverpool street or Docklands workers using it to cut out the central london
part of their journey.

Pity they couldn't take it all the way to Finsbury Park.
