The East London Line is dead... Long live the East London Line

Quote why it needs 3 years to be converted to 3rd rail when the 3rd rail is already there is anyones guess. Usual lazy british contractors who take 2 weeks to change a lightbulb no doubt. The extensions to the line shouldn't effect the bit in the middle so I can't see a good reason to close it. As I mentioned recently, the work isn't taking 3 years. London Underground are being given 3 months to pack up their things and leave, and it's expected to be ready for test running by June 2009. So that's a little over one year of construction. Plus their optimistic projection is currently November 2009, which would make it closed for less than two years.
