It's hardly a poor service from Dalston, which is my local station,
especially if you're going south. And I use the Highbury service quite
often to get to the Victoria line - and really the frequency is very
good for an overground train. As for overcrowding, try getting on the


Except its not really an overground route in the network rail sense. It had
stations tube line distance apart serving traditional tube line areas.

It should have been pretty obvious I would have thought - a major interchange
like highbury with a new service that provides a short cut to the City and
canary wharf.


Of course projections were made. Do you think we'd be better off
without the line?


Obviously not. But extending the line as far as clapham was asking for service
disruption issues and improving the service to highbury would be a no brainer
except they obviously can't be arsed.

Quite possibly. Frankly I'm sick of hearing foreign languages all the damn

time
everywhere in this city but thats another discussion.


Why don't you move to Clacton or somewhere you can have a UKIP MP as
their areas have some of the lowest numbers of nasty foreigners. You'll
be much happier.


Oh look, an insular little Islingtonite sneering. How completely out of
character!

I have actually been to clacton - I doubt you have. Probably like most of your
brainwashed metro liberal ilk the only time you ever go outside the M25 is on
an aircraft and think London = England. It doesn't. The only reason I stay in
this ****ing cesspit of a city (or zoo if I'm being kind) is for work.
