It was refurbished a few years ago as part of the advance works, and the reopened East London Line uses it. The 'Multimap' aerial view shows it refurbished, and the adjacent viaducts ready for track laying... Paul S |

When was the original line closed, and what was it called?
It was part of the North London Railway, which ran into Broad St station (next to Liverpool St Station, but since completely demolished and now the site is an office complex) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_London_Railway "The line from Dalston Junction to Poplar was heavily damaged during the blitz. Passenger service from Broad Street to Poplar via Victoria Park and Bow was not reinstated at the end of the war (its official closure was 14 May 1944). The section from Broad Street to Dalston Junction was closed on 30 June 1986." |

Is it too early to call it 'reopened'? :) (It's currently being tested with new trains; the route is due to re- open for public use in the next couple of months.) The 'Multimap' aerial view shows it refurbished, and the adjacent viaducts ready for track laying... As seen he http://www.multimap.com/s/CI3G3fVI their Bird's Eye View has it in an earlier stage of construction, with the bridge surrounded by scaffolding and sheeting: http://www.multimap.com/s/u0G2jr0I The Google Street View image appears to show it post-refurbishment: http://tinyurl.com/y94cb24 |

Was it just known as the North London Line? Paul S |

The original North London Railway ran east-west through Dalston Kingsland station, and the lines to Broad Street were called the City Extension. -- We are the Strasbourg. Referendum is futile. |
