East London Line Extensions
Dave Arquati wrote in message ...
When will the extension(s) appear on the tube map? Or will they appear
at all?
On a similar vein, does anyone have any information on plans to include
high-frequency National Rail routes on the standard Tube map? (I know
about the Overground Network pilot project).
I suspect it'll appear initially when all the tub thumping is underway, then
when LU and everyone else actually stand up and admit that all they've created
is yet another suburban 3rd rail route with the associated lousy service it'll
no longer be called the ELL and will disappear of tube maps never to be seen
again, a bit like the drayton park - moorgate line. My personal prediction
(and I stand to be proved completely wrong) is that this line will not be
nearly as popular as those in power seem to think it will be. The only real use
it will have is as a commuter route to interchange with the jubilee line for
docklands , I doubt even a small percentage will use it for cross town travel.
I can think of FAR better schemes to have spent money on than this.
