Hello,

I am conducting research on the impact of the Hoxton Overground station
since it opened in 2010. The study is part of the requirements for the
Masters in Urban Planning from the University of Amsterdam. I would like
to ask you a few questions about how the station has impacted your
connection to the community and the city.

By taking the survey, you either have to live within the boundaries of
Hoxton or use the Hoxton Overground station semi-frequently.

You will find a link to the survey below:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/hoxtonovergroundsurvey

For the purpose of this survey, the borders of Hoxton will be: The
Regents Canal in the north, City Road/ Wharf Road in the west, Old
Street/Hackney Road/Columbia Road in the south and Queensbridge Road in
the East.

No personal information will be collected in this survey and it will
take about 10 minutes to complete.

Please feel free to send this to anyone you think might be interested
and fits the criteria.

Thank you so much for you time,
Patrick

I hope you receive a response from every adult resident of Hoxton.

In the days of British Rail there was no station at Hoxton. Trains ran
non-stop between Broad Street and Dalston Junction.

Before the Second World War there had been additional stations. Mildmay
Park
was closed in 1934, Haggerston was closed in May, 1940 and Shoreditch
was
closed in October 1940. When the War ended, it was decided not to reopen

these stations, almost certainly because they had been so lightly
patronised
previously.

But so where many others on what is now "the overground"

Times have changed and these stations are now well used (again).
