Shoreditch RIP
"Mark Brader" wrote in message ... Chris Read: Just a quick reminder that Shoreditch station (East London Line) will close permanently this Friday. Last train appears to depart at 20:34 Tristán White: Thanks for the reminder. And a rap on the knuckles of the people who designed the latest map.... it says that the station would close on Saturday 10 June whereas technically it's late on Friday 9 June. I suggest that this is not an error as such, but the standard problem of whether to report a closure date as "last day of service" or "first day of no service". What's the actual wording on the map? The Tube/TfL website states that "Shoreditch station will close permanently after the end of service on Friday 9 June". http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/travelinf...me/planned.asp Online Tube map says "Station closes permanently in June 2006". I assume this is a smaller version of the wall map seen at stations. The TfL Tube closures email I had yesterday states "Shoreditch station to permanently close from Saturday 10 June 2006. For further details click here." http://www.tfl.gov.uk/unlinked/tube-...10-June-06.pdf That statement is repeated on the map in the link. This is part of a leaflet which starts with "From Saturday 10 June Shoreditch station permanently closed". Nick |

Shoreditch RIP
Last train ex-Shoreditch is 20:33. I believe the following "staff"
train will carry invited big-wigs so the "genuine" passenger will be unable to travel on the actual "last" departure. Or does the last "public" working count as the official "last" anyway? |

Thinking this through, one might be tempted to conclude that "bigwigs" are to be classified as freight. -- http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p14486537.html (60 050 at Winwick, 21 Apr 2005) |
