The East London Advertiser has a picture of the demolition of the
bridge linking Bishopsgate to Spittalfields. Is the site visible from
any public?

recognised Shoreditch station picture.

"Some trains are starting at Hackney Central with passengers being
'bussed in' from Liverpool Street."

Trust our friends in the media to screw at least one thing up! Trains
from Cambridge are going to Hackney Downs, though pax are being told to
change at Seven Sisters or Tottenham Hale.

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.

Talking of which, this is the view that greeted me at Tottenham Hale
last night:

I've been on the Hertford East trains at least four times in the last
week where the onboard announcements have sporadically announced that we
would "shortly be arriving at Shenfield". Is this some screw up with the
recorded announcements?

The answer to your question depends entirely on whether the trains shortly
arrived at Shenfield ;-)

Fenchurch Street would be a better idea (using the connection from
Stratford). But even with over a year to organise it, it hasn't
happened.

The problem with that is Fenchurch Street only has 4 platforms so doesn't
have the capacity to take One trains as well as the c2c trains.

Come on! How many platforms at Fenchurch St does the C2C service require
at this time of year? Two?
