Its a fairly half hearted effort though. In reality what are they
building? 1 new viaduct and a few new bridges , refurbishing a disused
route and putting a link to NR down at new cross gate. Dalston
Junction is a pointless terminus and Highbury isn't much better since
it'll cause immense crowding on the victoria line as everyone goes 1
stop from Finsbury park. Finsbury was the obvious terminus but for
reasons best know to themselves thats not going to happen even though
they could still have had the NLL link anyway.

The point is that this track should never have been taken out in the first
place. And Dalston is not a pointless terminus for those of us who live in
Dalston, and it will be extended to Highbury, which means people in E8 and
around will have a choice of getting onto the tube via Vic line or
District/H&C at Whitechapel. Plus Jubilee and at a pinch the DLR at
Shadwell. It's just a shame there's no exchange with the Central.
