I went and had a look yesterday. All of the new bridges are much

Indeed. I think we should be thankful that it's happening at all given
the appalling transport record in this country.

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.


In a joined up world they could have had GN services running through to
destinations in the south east (and vice versa obviously) - and probably
more cost effective than joining the GN into Thameslink at St Pancras,
perhaps?
