They may now be regretting that the link to the NLL at Highbury & Islington
has never been commissioned because of the complications of the two
electrification systems. But available it is not so there is no way to run a
shuttle, even if Shoreditch High Street had a handy crossover.

What complications? The NLL itself switches between overhead and 3rd rail.
That aside, they could store a couple of units overnight at Dalston Junction
for the 9 days and hire a security guard. But obviously thats not going to
happen with TfLs Can't-Do culture.
