  1. I take note that the “even higher line” article was posted on April 1st…

  2. I may be completely wrong, but I reckon that Stratford station must be the most recently rebuilt station that is proposed for further major upgrade.

  3. If you’re talking “ever”, the “Joint Station” at London Bridge opened in 1844 and was replaced by a larger LBSCR half of the station in 1849.

  4. @Greg

    Ah the dangers of not reading the article all the way through… I also missed this gem: “Squadrons of armed drones would patrol the skies to ensure everyone walked in the right direction”.
