TfL are so pleased with their 'new train set' they have set up a webcam
to cover the ELL bridge installation at Shoreditch High St.

Accessible via middle of: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/

Is this just a one off or will they maintain the webcam? Are there any
other webcams of ELLX?

I haven't seen a track schematic, but it appears that the ELLX's route in
that are will be on a rather tight loop; Going north, it will cross the
new bridge, go via the old Broad Street and then the cross the bridge in
Hoxton, right?


It is a tight bend, I believe it is one of the main reasons the whole
section through from Shoreditch (ex LU station site) to Dalston is being
installed as slab track using noise reduction measures.

Might help explain the extended timescales and high costs for the
installation I guess...
