Default Shoreditch RIP

Just a quick reminder that Shoreditch station (East London Line) will
close permanently this Friday. Last train appears to depart at 20:34


Tristán White:
Thanks for the reminder. And a rap on the knuckles of the people who
designed the latest map.... it says that the station would close on
Saturday 10 June whereas technically it's late on Friday 9 June.


I suggest that this is not an error as such, but the standard problem
of whether to report a closure date as "last day of service" or "first
day of no service". What's the actual wording on the map?


Looking at the map tonight in Epping station shows that Shoreditch has a red
line through the name and a 'footnote sword' beside it, the branch from
Whitechapel is in the faded shade as normally used on lines being built and
there is a bus symbol to show how you can get there instead. I assume
details of that can be found on the base of the map by looking for the
footnote.
