I must admit I can't see why more trains don't go to Highbury. It's not
obvious why terminating at Dalston Junction is a good idea except that the
original ELL extension plan only went there, with the Highbury extension
following later for some reason.

Is it to do with track layout? There are two bay platforms at Dalston
Junction, but I think only one at H&I.


No, there are two bay platforms at H&I (well, effectively two bay
platforms because they're not technically bays, what with the as yet to
be commissioned stock transfer link between the ELL and NLL).
