The official LUL Infrastructure Map covers 16 disused stations and a
couple of other probably interesting places on the LUL network.

How bizarre - Lillie Bridge depot is controlled by JNP although access
is to, from and for the SSL!

That *may* date back to ye olden days when Lillie Bridge was the
Piccadilly Line depot. Or I could be talking out of my rear end

You should stand up, your voice is muffled ;-)))

Lillie Bridge is controlled by JNP because it is one of the homes of
TransPlant, the supplier of most of the engineering kit used for
infrastructure maintenance and renewal. Conveniently enough, TransPlant
is part of Infraco JNP!

I notice Shoreditch is still shown. Anyone know if this section of the
ELL still intact or have the tracks been lifted already?

A few weeks ago, the tracks had been cut through and stop lamps fitted just
beyond the Whitechapel platforms, but the track still seemed to be in place
beyond the break as far as I could see...

Looking from the line into Liverpool Street ths week the tracks appear to
still be there at the station itself.
