Last ever train to Shoreditch Station

[hywelw]

I'm in this video, taking pictures for my Underground History web site (and I also have a photo of the videographer on my web site as a result)! I'm the dude briefly in vision in the first few frames holding my camera above my head to frame the clock in the picture!

[AppleOranges12]

@hywelw Yes, I've seen your pictures on your site back in the days and indeed I was in it. It was quite a day it was, the station has never seen so much people.

why couldn't lu put in a shuttle between shoreditch and whitechapel and have trains on the new line aswell???

[mimiquan]

Ahhhh. Londoners can't laugh at trainspotters. This video is evidence that there's a trainspotter in all of us Londoners. It takes something like this to pull it out of us!

[sammydenyc]

that train must have been crowded...

[timosebi2]

What line is this?

[js2001b1]

What a waste of money to get rid of a station and to build anew one just up the road. why not keep the one you alrady have, weird, the government is always thrifty about non london train transport, but will spend obcene amounts on london train network that isn't necessary, like the cross rail, how many lines coulld have been reopened on 18 billion pounds, loads of them.

[spyrosbiggestfan5678]

because it is on the wrong alignment for the extension so there is no point in having it there

crossrails gonna be great for ppl like me, atm i have to go east to central london, to come all the way bwest again, as theres no trains going south for me. so the loops a great ideam it will relieve congestion too

[coshyno]

why was it demolished ??

[Forcefield23]

Shoreditch Station is now closed permanantly to allow the East London Line to be extended northwards. A new station called Shoreditch High Street will be built as a replacement further north. As of today, demolition work is well under way.

I am getting on the train at 1.03!

[AppleOranges12]

Its been two years already. Time sure goes quick doesnt it?

[cx162]

oh dear it is sad aint it?

[mylorry]

brilliant

[cameronmac2000]

I was on 5066 too it was a sad day

[FutureStyles]

I caught a train to Shoreditch this morning!?!

[AppleOranges12]

Are you sure its Shoreditch station? The trackwork and platform has now been removed and demolished, so its impossible to get to Shoreditch on the East London Line now.

[FutureStyles]

i'm just messing around mate!

[silktrumbone73]

I have fond memories of this station. Is it because, as a child, I would pass it every morning on my way to school? or because it was piss easy to do a bunk without paying?

[RDL1984]

BVE4 users can play with a Whitechapel to New Cross Gate service.

[klewis511]

And where can I find such route?

[AppleOranges12]

On BVE, you can only pull out from Shoreditch so there not much to see really.

[RDL1984]

Hmmmm.... BVE players are luckly... Shoreditch still follows there...

Good luck to the ELLE (East London Line Extension)...
