with

the results of your survey.

What do you mean by "both Hoxton and Haggerston have turned out to be white elephants"? What level of use would be sufficient for you not to class them as "white elephants"?

An average of 200 people per hour boarding trains between 07.00 and 21.00
hours.

Building new railway stations costs a fortune. As George Osborne keep telling
us, we haven't got fortunes to chuck around. Therefore public money should
be spent only on projects which are going to benefit large numbers of people.
