"Liberal Democrat councillor for Haringey Council Rachel Allison has
described the proposed building as "the bunker"...
"This is a huge maintenance facility nearly two-storeys high." "

My preconceptions about bunker design were that they shouldn't be so
prominent!

Gosh, imagine having to live opposite a two-story building...

Storey, even.

Looking at the diagram, the building will be on the far side of the ECML
opposite the properties in Chadwell Lane. Aren't they council properties?
Haven't these people heard that beggars can't be choosers? It will be
barely visible from the private properties in New River Avenue.

Can somebody explain how building the depot creates hundreds of jobs. Will
the new Thameslink trains be that much more unreliable than the existing
trains that they need more maintenance.
Surely the existing trains are maintained so why does the new Thameslink
require hundreds of extra maintenance staff.
