2 out of 7 oh dear
My excuse is that I rarely use the train in Hackney.
I use a lot of the stations; Clapton mostly, but sometimes walk up to Rectory Road or back from there, and sometimes walk back from Hackney Downs, or Hackney Central.2 out of 7 oh dear

That's what i scored although im not a local.same 2/7 here

Erm, lucky guesses . I'm much better at buses...I got that and I use them every day
Mind you I guess either of us can ask Sue any transport related questions in future so we don't have to worry about it...

This false modesty isn’t fooling anyone, Sue - aka Hackney’s finest train afficionado.
I used to live next door to it. My garden was practically on the platformI do know where Rectory Road station is but I had no ideas about how many passengers use any of the stations.
I thought it was strange it was closed a few weeks ago. It's always open on a Sat. Then I found this tweet on google.
Disgusted to hear @hackneycouncil tripled the rent for Wally Herbert's fish shop, forcing this Hackney institution to close after 78 years.
FFSI was in Hackney central this afternoon and - guess what - Wally Herbert's kiosk is now a coffee place - like Hackney needs another!
Not cheap either, £3 for a flat white and you can't even sit down but I suppose they have to charge that if the rents expensive.
That's terrible. I'm really sad that fish stall is gone.I was in Hackney central this afternoon and - guess what - Wally Herbert's kiosk is now a coffee place - like Hackney needs another!

that's nicked from ruddy yurts' 1992 single 'invisible man'Technically Islington Borough, not Hackney but I saw a poster for this record in the tube station today - do you think he's pinched the idea from that hairdressing shop in Balls Pond Road - just at the Kingsland Road junction?

Sad news
Spirit was one of the people who was robbed of his shop on Broadway Market by the council despite having built it up from a wreck over many years AND offering to buy it from them.
The real insult to untold injury was that the people who took over his shop opened a poncy fish shop... I just couldn't believe how insensitive that was. Proper pained me.I remember him , got proper shafted by Hackney Council . RIP .
