Well they should have done really. A short cut from north london to
canary
wharf (almost) and south of the river via the up and coming areas of
Hoxton
and Shoreditch I would have thought would be a dead cert for packed
trains.

I imagine the growth in London's population had something to do with
it. Plus the fact that far fewer people today can afford to run a car.

Car ownership is pretty flat at the moment, but isn't declining. In
London it's actually increasing!
