Shoreditch tube has restricted opening hours; peak times, which is fair
enough, and sunday mornings (and early afternoon). why sunday mornings?

Though loss making,
closing the station could kill Brick Lane Sunday market.

Used to be because of lots of Jewish traders, whose sabbath has finished by then.

The station will be closed in a few years. Its replacement will be up at the
former Shoreditch one-way system.

Are you sure? If you look at 60's - 70's tube maps, Shoreditch was
only open Monday to Friday. I think the Sunday opening is a recent
thing, from long after the Jewish traders had moved away.

By the way, as Brick Lane market is just 5mins walk from both Aldgate
East and Liverpool St, closing the Shoreditch tube wouldn't harm it
very much!

It's a shame Shoreditch isn't open later on weekday evenings though.
I'm sure more people would want to travel from Shoreditch to
Whitechapel at pub closing than Shadwell-New Cross. Bring on the
extension........

I may be wrong; but I am thinking back to the '50s.

Perhaps because no trains run to and from there at those times.
