The interchange between the NLL and the Northern line - I use it
occasionally, last time being about 2 or so weeks ago - is good
enough for the traffic that currently uses it, and increasing the
number of people interchanging between the lines would increase the
pressure on the NLL... and fixing that would add to the expense (it
would probably mean making Camden Road - Stratford 4-track all the
way and/or shifting more of the frieght traffic that uses the NLL
on to the GOBLIN, which would have a negitive impact on the passenger
traffic on the GOBLIN. Which would make ME cross!)

closing East Acton, very inappropriately sited in a residential road.


Eh? Isn't it a good siting; makes it easy for people to get to the
station...
