Shadwell tube station Totally Explained

Everything about Shadwell Tube Station totally explained

Shadwell tube station was on the East London Line, between Whitechapel to the north and Wapping to the south.
The original station was one of the oldest on the network. First opened by the East London Railway on 10 April 1876, it was first served by the Metropolitan District Railway and Metropolitan Railway on 1 October 1884. It was renamed Shadwell & St. George-in-the-East on 1 July 1900 but reverted to its original name in 1918. In 1983, a new ticket hall was built on Cable Street, replacing the original building, which still stands on Watney Street. Access to the station platforms is through lifts or stairs.
The typical off peak East London Line service from the station was:

9 tph (trains per hour) to Whitechapel
5 tph to New Cross
4 tph to New Cross Gate

Shadwell (East London Line) station closed on 22 December 2007 and won't reopen until June 2010. The East London Line will become part of the new London Overground system. The station was also closed between 1995 and 1998 due to repair work on the East London Line's Thames Tunnel.
When the East London Line reopens and becomes part of the London Overground network, Transport for London plans to adapt Shadwell tube station to provide a better interchange with the DLR station, with a new entrance on Watney Street and disabled access to the platforms.
