At last!

Bit late to the party, i know, but i went on it. It was very new, not very
busy, the trains were very quiet, and Dalston Junction station is HUGE.

Why is it so huge? And what are the plans for Shoreditch High Street (or
as i like to call it, Directly Opposite My Office On Commercial Street) -
will the views to the arches and pillars and other quite nice old bits of
railway architecture be maintained, or is the surrounding area going to be
turned into a tower block?

The stretch from Dalston to Shoreditch was oddly reminiscent of being in
New York; one of the elevated bits of ths subway (or the Metro-North,
perhaps) looking down over converted warehouses and so on. The
buildingscape is much more clean and cubic and less blobby and random than
the otherwise comparable stretch of the West Anglia line from Hackney
Downs to Bethnal Green.

I was late for work because of the detour i took to go on it, so i hope
you all appreciate this report!
