Or, as an alternative, how about the "Frontline", which was the old
nickname of the nearby Railton Road. Said nickname is often attributed
to the times of the '81 riots, but it actually originates back in the
70's as part of the road at least was a slightly edgy place. No-one
calls it that now, though there is an off-licence that still goes by
that name!

That name's also been used for Amhurst Road in Hackney, for much the same
reasons. This would make that a good name for the extended ELL, if it ever
gets round to linking these two delightful neighbourhoods.

Your anti-orbital rail prejudices bubbling up again Tom?! As well as
having a downer on Brixton and Hackney, it would seem...

Where am i being down? I love Hackney! I don't know Brixton terribly well,
but it seems pretty interesting. Beats the **** out of a Hampstead or a
Richmond with a wooden stick any day of the week.

Although if you did link them with a railway line, kevlar seat backs would
be a sensible feature of the trains.
