  • Good to see an improvement for Shoreditch. A centrally located station plus new links to the north. But why not build a Central line station?
  • It was believed that if a interchange with the central line was buit, that it would delay central line trains, and would cause a large amount of disruption when creating the station. see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoreditch_High_Street_railway_station#Central_Line_connection
