There wouldn't be an Overground service at all if that was the case.

You've never heard the phrase "on the cheap" I take it? Because with the ELL
thats certainly what I have coming to mind in 10 foot high flashing neon lights.

Would you say Shoreditch High St was done "on the cheap"? But if you
really expected the LO to be engineered to your exacting standards, it
simply wouldn't have been built. We'd still have the old ELR with its
sparse service, which you'd never have used, and therefore never have
complained about.

I seem to recall that you've also criticised the original DLR for bing
built on the cheap, which it certainly was. But if you think anyone could
have found the budget back then to build something resembling today's much
extended DLR, you obviously would like to pay a lot more in taxes.
