I had my suspicions that it wasn't being taken seriously as a transport link by TfL given its slow service and poor timetable, and this rather proves it. Can you imagine any tube line being closed for that many consecutive days now unless there had been a major incident? -- Spud Aren't they putting in place the new concourse at Whitechapel as part of the station rebuilding to support Crossrail? That's a fairly major piece of engineering, which can affect other lines - look at what's going to happen to Bank in a few years time... And in any case, it's only really the new bit (plus Whitechapel to Shadwell) which is shut - you can get under the river for once. There you go - there's even a nice information sheet on it: http://74f85f59f39b887b696f- ab656259048fb93837ecc0ecbcf0c557.r23.cf3.rackcdn.c om/assets/library /document/c/original/c512-xrl-z-xbu-d061-50180- whitechapel_station_closures_february_16.pdf (here's a shortened version of the link http://bit.ly/1QgLyAI ) Available in many different languages should you so choose! I'd be fascinated to know why "Crossrail" is spelled in the Latin alphabet for Chinese, Greek, Gujurati and Urdu readers, but not for Arabic, Bengali, Hindi, Punjabi and Tamil readers. I'm thinking of ordering it in Welsh - do you think they will provide it, as it is one of the UKs official languages? (I think it and English are the only two) On your other point, discussing with someone who works in translation, this sort of thing would normally have been agreed in advance and harmonised between all the different translations, but that doesn't appear to have been the case here.... |
