Shoreditch
I was in the Shoreditch area today so I went to see what was happening
at the old station. The station building is still there but just to the east its a major construction size. Looks like the cutting right up to the station platform has been infilled up to street level now so no chance of trains ever running there again! And unless they're going to keep it for historial reasons I'd suspect the stations days are numbered. B2003 |

Or in the case of spitalfields market land thats already occupied with a nice structure gets an ugly square join-the-dots blob dumped on top of it. B2003 |

And unless they're going to keep it for historial reasons I'd suspect the stations days are numbered. I walked around there too recently and took some pictures. I have forgot to upload them to Panoramio until now so they will turn up on Google Earth in a month or two, but here are some direct links: Old station (Brick Lane side): http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4755923 Old station entrance: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4756036 Infilled cutting: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4756007 The cutting further down towards Whitechapel: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4755987 Shoreditch High Street station construction site: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4755885 -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |

It takes a longer route to serves streets with long walking distance to the nearest bus stop. -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |
