No, its closed because TfL don't believe in installing reversing points.
To close 3 miles of the line that could satisfactorily operated otherwise
just because of work at one station is pathetic.

Presumably you DO believe in paying a £6 (or might it be a tenner?)
single-zone fare to fund lots of enhancements.

So lets get this straight, you think installing one extra set of reversing
points when the ELLX was being built would require an extra 5 quid on fares
to fund it do you?

Go and have a lie down.

Even a few yards of dual electrification require expensive and bulky
equipment.

Err, right. Care to tell us why you think reversing points at shoreditch
would required 25KV AC to be installed on the completely 3rd rail ELL?
