taken seriously as a transport link by TfL given its slow service and poor
timetable, and this rather proves it. Can you imagine any tube line being
closed for that many consecutive days now unless there had been a major
incident?

Is the whole ELL being closed or is it just THAT station (Whitechapel)
that is being closed?

Closed all the way from Highbury down to Shadwell. Since TfL were apparently
too shortsighted to specify reversing points at Shortditch High Street when
the line was built and the route of crossrail was already known.

And what use would a Dalston Junction to Shoreditch High Street service
really be? Or are you just thinking of a shorter rail reaplcement service?
