For that matter, how will the tracks themselves be positioned? One
smart thing to do would be to run them down the centre of the

Funniest thing that I have read in ages, the prospect of the Eat London
Line being so busy it will need to be quadrupled. You would still have
the double track bottleneck to the south.

True. I was thinking more in terms of offering branched services to the
north.

A bit of research shows that the Dalston area once enjoyed a triangular
junction with the NLL. If the four-track formation is cleared and kept
clear as far as Dalston Junction, then as long as the eastern side of
the triangle is not blocked, the ELLX could run onto the eastern NLL
and access some of the old Eastern Region suburban routes.
