Default ELLP - GE19 Bridge slide

There is a TfL press release out confirming the closure of Liverpool St over
Sun/Mon of the early May bank holiday while the new bridge is moved into
position.

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/medi...ntre/7933.aspx

Quote from the article:

"The bridge will carry the extended East London line over all the main lines
coming out of Liverpool Street station, and is a crucial part of the project
that will put Hackney on the Tube map for the first time, and involve the
building of new stations at Shoreditch High Street, Hoxton, Haggerston, and
Dalston Junction."

Er... that bit about putting Hackney on the tube map for the first time - is
that a different Hackney to the one on the NLL then, that has been on and
off the map at the whim of the compilers for donkey's years?

It just irritates me that they keep rolling out this cr#p - which might have
made sense a good few years ago when the ELLX really was going to be a part
of the underground system...
