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?


Not when one of the busiest parts of the line is through docklands.


They did keep it open at first until what Roland observes became apparent.
