east london line

details of the uprade and extension of the east london line

[@MikeWillSee]

Makes you realise what a big project it was! I always thought that it was just transferring the existing infrastructure from LU to LO, whilst upgrading some stations and building a little extension!

Great upload, thanks.

From wikipedia: Many of Hitchcock's films contain cameo appearances by Hitchcock himself , the director would be seen for a brief moment boarding a bus, crossing in front of a building, standing in an apartment across the courtyard At Canada water station there is a guy coming down the escalator at 3.33... who is the producer I assume.. so appearing in his own film just like Hitchcock always did.(ie the Hitchcock moment)Hope that makes more sense!!

We are all heading off from Crystal Palace for a Bagel Beano Sunday 23rd May at 10.30 am. The day our tube opens on the ELL. Come along and take a trip to Brick Lane for the best salt beef bagels in London. mmm! It's just for fun so bring the family and wear a silly hat. Hope to see you there.

Of all the 33 Boroughs in London, Hackney Borough is the only Borough that does not have an underground stn/tube service. Bethnal Grn is in Tower Hamlets Borough.

Manor House is the only underground station in Hackney actually

[@andyshearwood]

they are normal national rail stock (with an adapted interior for inner city use). it is going to be merged with national rail lines to create an outer circle line. i assume that using regular carriages will be better for capacity and speed

[@patricksiuathkbuses]

@andyshearwood I think one plausible reason is that, as much of the distance is on NR metals, it would save more by not adding the fourth rail and messing with line voltages.

[@fizi247]

I hear you Patrickov. All though is doesnt go into central London, we have the JLE to thank for the connection via Canada Waters. Not to mention the cross rail link due for 2017 completion!

I live in croydon. Cant wait to have the east london line.

[@harpomarx42]

GREAT VIDEO! The entry signs could look a bit nicer, though.

[@patricksiuathkbuses]

@patrickov Sorry for misunderstanding. I thought that guy was talking about why not retaining it in the Tube network.

[@ClareAer]

@MultiCrazyman77 Well doesnt bother me. i'll take it when its going that way. as i pointer out i dont see the point(As of yet) of the line. but im very sure it serves a purpose

[@patricksiuathkbuses]

If the ELL would retain in Underground then the western part of Hackney will receive extensive Underground service even though it still doesn't enter Central London. Pity about that, but looks like ELL's still a better connection in this regard than NLL...?

[@ClareAer]

The line seems to run all round london . even down to east croydon which they dont show. seems like a maze to me.

[@ryansx1984]

hitchcock always appeared in the background of a film he directed

[@fizi247]

@MrItherandom Pls read this msg very very carefully. Their are 33 boroughs in London. Of all the 33 boroughs in London, Hackney is the only borough that does not have an Underground/Tube Stn. Mrltherandom, which part of my msg did u not understand? You are quoting exactly what I've stated, so how could I be wrong?

[@CharlieDavis7]

did u make this yourself?

[@611unterscharfuhrer]

What are they going to do with all of the um do dos who infest the area ???

[@fizi247]

@MrItherandom If I appear to ignore you, it is nothing personal other than you are a total waste of space! You mentioned Croydon in Surrey and I mention Hackney in LONDON as the only LONDON BOROUGH not to have a tube until now and you still think your smart! You need help m8, geography was not your strong point at school! Please dont reply!
