Also it would have been nice if there were platforms reinstated on the
mainline (maybe Lea Valley tracks only) almost directly beneath
Shoreditch High Street, as the ELL has no interchange with the Central
line or with National Express.

The lack of a Central Line interchange was intentional, it was decided early
on that an interchange with Crossrail at Whitechapel would be better for
distributing passengers more evenly.

Ie making their life easier instead of doing something for the benefit of
the passengers. Yup, that sounds about right.

How is opening an extra station on one of the most crowded parts of the
network a good idea? They made passive provision for a Central Line
station, that was the right thing to do.
