Is it the intention that eventually there will no longer be LU
involvement with this line and instead Network Rail will take over
infrastructure responsibility for both the existing and the extended

there only be a link to one or other of New Cross/New Cross Gate? Will
the depot at New Cross be shut and the stock transfer connection

On the original plan I saw some years ago the New Cross depot
was to be closed and a new one put in to the space where the ELL
diverges from the mail line at New Cross Gate, that site currently
houses a car pound, from the ELL you can see the decent looking ones
and from the main line you can see all the rubbish that has obviously
been dumped. However I am not sure what the current plans are, though
there has been some clearance work done quite recently on the west
side of the main line (at NXG) where the old stabling sidings are.

between the ELL and District Lines be removed? Will the existing
station at Shoreditch still be served?

Shoreditch is not on the agenda for the new line
