No passengers as CLEARLY FICTIONAL.


That's right... No such place as Baker Street either...

Grange Hill is between Chigwell and Hainault on the Hainault loop of the
Central Line. http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/image...ps/cen_big.gif
refers.

Did anyone register an objection to the closure of Shoreditch?
Did anyone really notice/care? :-)


Does anyone think that Shoreditch High Street is an adequate replacement for
Shoreditch? IMHO the two serve completely different catchments (Brick Lane
for Shoreditch, and Bishopsgate/east end of Old Street/Great Eastern Street
for Shoreditch High Street).


Exactly where is the new station going to be?
I along with hundreds of others use Shoreditch on a Sunday to get
to the markets, I go to Spitalfields which is only a few minutes walk
away and lots of others to Brick Lane, but I must admit that a station
in or very near Shoreditch High St would be very useful for me and it
is still easy enough to walk down to Spitalfields. Getting to Shoreditch
High St is rather more tedious from Shoreditch and the High St is a
handy place for getting buses.

Within the site of Bishopsgate goods station - did you not hear of the long
running court battle about the viaduct?

Sorry, I had temporarily forgotten all of that, yes it looks like
the new station will be much more convenient than the existing, and
no less easy to get to the markets.
Normally to get to that area I get NR from New Cross Gate to London Bridge
and the get a bus to Shoreditch Church, but having used the ELL for
over 20 years I would prefer that route, using the present Shoreditch
the walk up to the church from the station is a bit tedious.
