I was just thinking that Hackney Central might be a good place to
terminate trains from the GEML, routing them via Stratford, while
Liverpool Street is closed. But of course, there are still works at
Shenfield that mean they can't even get to Stratford.

And it wouldn't really be a very good idea anyway.


Fenchurch Street would be a better idea (using the connection from
Stratford).


No, it'd be no better, because you still can't get past Shenfield! If that
wasn't out of play, then yes, it'd be better than stopping at Stratford,
or Hackney Central, if only marginally.

whole galaxy of multi colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and
also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw
ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all this for the trip,
but once you get locked in a serious drug collection, the tendency is
to push it as far as you can. -- Hunter S. Thompson, 'Fear and loathing
