If however the suggestion is the ELL is going to be a quiet line then
I'd offer the contrary prediction - I think it'll be a very successful
and well patronised line. I know this is contrary to what appears to be
the received wisdom in this group but I'm convinced it'll be a great
success.

I would like to be proved wrong, and my guess is that it will be a
qualified success, but I can't see how the billions being spent can be
justified. Not when you consider what the billions could be spent on.
At the end of the day it is a line that goes from no where to no where
via no where. Sorry to the people of West Croydon, Dalston and
Shorditch. It isn't as if these places don't have public transport
already.
Maybe if the people of Dalston had shown more patronage on the NLL then
Broad St wouldn't have closed.
I would agree that doing away with the useful capacity that Broad St
gave was a mistake though.
