I don't care - this used to be a tube line
The stretch from Highbury & Islington to Hoxton and then Broad Street was,
ISTR, *main line*.

The ELL was one of the few parts of the London Underground that was
originally designed and built as a main line. When run as part of LU
Shoreditch only got a service during peak hours and on Sunday mornings. I
believe they ran the whole thing with just 6 x 4-car sets, so I would have
thought it was a fraction of the service level and passenger capacity the
route now has.
