With just a couple of months to go until the re-opening of the extended East London Line, I thought it would be worth sharing some links to websites giving a sneak preview of the new service.

The Guardian’s Dave Hill has an interesting blog on the new line here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/davehillblog/2010/mar/16/east-london-line-extension-promises-of-prosperity

And the excellent London Reconnections also has a nice collection of photos here: http://londonreconnections.blogspot.com/2010/03/ell-in-pictures-shadwell-hoxton.html

It will start running to nearby Honor Oak Park station from May 23rd, allowing quick and easy access to the City and tonnes of additional connections around London. In a few years time, Peckham Rye will also be brought into the network.

The new opportunities available from Honor Oak Park station make having a decent bus link there all the more essential. We will carry on lobbying Transport for London to introduce one.
