On a related note, Liverpool Street is closed for a week over christmas
"as a result of major engineering work on the approach lines to the
station, in connection with the extension of TfLs East London line". I
don't know if that's the ramp or a new track connection or preparatory
works or what.


I believe its for removal of the existing girder work that used to support
the lines into the Bishopsgate goods station, I think becusue they are not
in the correct vertical alignment for the new ELLX bridge, which will be
installed at a later date.

Google Earth currently shows a massive amount of structure/material in the
line of route, if you have access to it.
