Default Stratford - Mind the Gap


"Mizter T" wrote

During the planning of the Jubilee line extension, I'm wondering
whether there was ever any thought that provision might be made for
extended the line from Stratford Regional to Stratford Int'l? Though
when the JLE was being planned, I suppose the future existence of
Stratford Int'l was far from certain.


and it would have been far from trivial to get the Jubilee Line under the
GEML and to a terminus at Stratford International. I'm not sure, even when
it had been decided that the CTRL would take the Stratford route, with a
station there, that the exact location of Stratford International had been
decided. ISTR suggestions that it would be closer to Stratford Regional so
that connections between the two wouldn't need a travolator/long
walk/shuttle bus/ DLR.
