Shoreditch tube station : ウィキペディア英語版 | Shoreditch tube station
Shoreditch was a London Underground station in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in east London that was opened by the East London Railway in 1876. It was permanently closed in 2006 and replaced by Shoreditch High Street station. It should not be confused with the closed Shoreditch main line station, some distance further north on the North London Railway, that had opened in 1865 and closed in 1940. This Shoreditch was the northern terminus of the East London Line, with latterly a single platform alongside a single track that ran next to the disused Bishopsgate goods yard. Until the late 1960s the East London Line connected with the main line railway to Liverpool Street just north of Shoreditch station. The site of the link is still visible from the end of the platform and from main line trains travelling between Stratford and Liverpool Street. The station was one of only a handful on the network with a single platform and a single track layout, though it originally had two tracks and two platforms. The preceding station was Whitechapel, which was the northern terminus of the East London Line until the line closed for extension in 2007. ==History==
Shoreditch station opened in April 1876 as a stop on the East London Railway from Liverpool Street to points south. The passenger service between Shoreditch and Liverpool Street was withdrawn in 1885. Shoreditch joined the Underground network on 31 March 1913 as part of the Metropolitan Railway in conjunction with an electrification of the line. Goods services from Liverpool Street continued to pass through Shoreditch until April 1966; after then the track connection was severed in order to improve access to Liverpool Street for other trains. The station was closed from March 1995 to September 1998 during the renovation of the East London Line, reopening six months after the rest of the line.
