Tomorrow afternoon. It's up on a wide viaduct surrounded by houses
(many of them terraced), so it's almost invisible from anywhere
publicly accessible except for the corner of Mercury Way and Coldblow
Lane.

Just near where they are putting up the bridge near the projected
Shoredicth
High Street, there are two LU units sitting on a part of what used to be
the
City Branch. Does anybody know what they are doing there and how they got
there?


They're 1983 Stock. They were craned in specially a year or two ago to
be used as artists studios. There are four of them, two raised up on
single-storey platforms.

So I thought, because I had only noticed them a couple of years ago.

What is their fate, however?

They're a permanent fixture now, as far as I know.

How did they come to be there and from where did they come?
