remains of all the stuff under Smithfield, City Thameslink with an
absolutely perfect 90s look (you can almost feel the shoulder pads)
including a blanked-off door that should have gone to the Jubilee
line,

Where is that then? And I didn't know that the Jubilee Line went near enough.


I presume this would have been on the branch which was built as far as
Charing Cross, whose JLE station is used now mainly as a film set.


Actually, the abandoned Jubilee Line Charing Cross station isn't on the
JLE. It's on the old Fleet Line alignment.


Why did they close the station? Would it not have been better to
terminate and turn some trains there, while letting others continue on
to Stratford?
