If it was possible to ask the 2004 version of Boris if he had the
vaguest clue about what the East London Line project might entail, it'd
be interesting to hear his answer.


Maybe he'd copy Diane Abbott's 2000 quote... "If I could do one single
thing in the constituency it would be to build the Chelsea-Hackney Line.
The Chelsea-Hackney Line is a long-planned extension of the Jubilee Line
into Hackney. It would come all the way to Dalston. For the first time
Stoke Newington would have an underground station. So you could travel
from Dalston down the existing Jubilee Line all the way along a new
extension that would take you to Chelsea."
