No, that's also behind schedule, partly to align with the Bank station
reopening. It was originally planned to open in 2020, but the currently
scheduled opening date is Sep 2021.


Oh well. The TV program I watched about it was obviously somewhat optimistic.

I suppose 634m isn't too bad for a few miles of bored tube tunnel and stations
under London considering the jocks managed to blow almost 800m on 9 miles of
tram line which is a pretty staggering achievement and is almost crossfail
standard.
