Most of the bridges have been replaces or repaired over the last year

does OK (Our ken) have it in mind to run a semi fast service along the
line (missing out Hoxton and Haggerston) as well as a stopping
service?


No, at Hoxton the extra width is being used for the platforms, and the
replacement bridges are all two-track only in the plans (haven't been
to look yet at what's been built). I presume the rest will be empty
space.

There was never a station at Hoxton before - the station between
Haggerston and Broad St was Shoreditch, and was much further south.
