Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 11 and Version 10 of Category East London Line

As of 23 December 2007, the entirety of the East London Line has been closed in order to allow for its extension north through Tower Hamlets and Hackney to Highbury and Islington, and south through Lewisham and Bromley to West Croydon; work is due to be completed by 2010. Following completion of the extension, the line will no longer form part of the London Underground, but instead will be considered part of the London Overground.

Replacement bus services will run for all parts of the line except the one that takes the longest to walk: Rotherhithe to Wapping. (Admittedly this is most likely because it's not feasible to send buses through the Rotherhithe Tunnel.)
