Anyone know why? And how come Overground think the route is so
inconsequential
that they can just shut it for 2 days during the working week and to hell
with
the travelling public?
TfL tell you why. Look it up yourself.
So point to the bit where they explain why it has to be done during the week
and why the entire ELL needs to be shut since presumably they could - if they
could be arsed which is a big ask for TfL - run a Highbury to shorditch
service and reverse. Ditto from the south to shadwell.
They are running a service from the south to Shadwell!
Presumably the problem with running a northern shuttle is that the depot
is south of the work site and/or they can't reverse enough trains to
handle the passenger load (have you seen the crush at Highbury some of
the time?)
