Apparently the ELL was closed all the way from Highbury down to clapham this

reversing crossovers at various points on the line or could they simply not
be bothered to run a service on the rather crucial Highbury - Canada Water
section? What a shambles they are.



A fire at New Cross shouldn't stop the services to Clapham, Croydon and
Crystal Palace from running.

It does if it blocks depot access:

Well thats a good enough reason - pity they didn't share it. I am however
rather surprised that they rely on 1 sole depot for the line. Don't they have
trains stationed in sidings for such emergencies?
