Anyone know about East London Line Project progress?
Is any construction work being done on the East London Line Project?
The project's website www.ellp.co.uk says that "the legal challenges relating to the Bishopsgate Goods Yard were resolved in July 2003", and "demolition of the non-listed viaduct began on 14 July 2003 to make way for the future Shoreditch High Street station". I had expected that once those legal challenges were overcome, work would begin. Do they not have funding now? What's going on? Dominic |

I was in London last weekend and you can't see anything of any works on either end of ther ELL. It's annoying. From Shoreditch (the saddest station of all London underground stations) you can even see the main line. A connection there to Liverpool Street and back out of the station and a Viduct/underpass to the old Broadstreet approach shouldn't have been to complicated to build. Building it is one thing. Having sufficient track capacity to allow additional traffic into an already very busy terminus is something very different. |

om... Is any construction work being done on the East London Line Project? Work was going on on the Dalston Junction area about a years ago. I haven't been there since. I would imagine that the Shoreditch end will be left until last, so that the time between the closure of the existing station and the opening of the new station is as short as possible. I am surprised that no-one has devoted an entire fansite to the project: a new open-air railway through inner London is an extremely rare opportunity for camera-owning rail buffs. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

Yes. There is quite a large construction site at the corner of Shoreditch High Street and Bethnal Green Road. This is just north of the main tracks out of Liverpool Street. Matt Ashby www.fornogoodreason.org.uk |

om... Has a new working draft Tube map been published yet that shows what the map will look like with the new ELL extensions in place? There's one in the back of the "Mr Beck's Underground Map" book, but this shows an earlier version of Crossrail as well, so it might no longer be the right geometry. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
