The point is that this track should never have been taken out in the first

Dalston, and it will be extended to Highbury, which means people in E8 and

Yes , but with the best will in the world , the combined populations
of users from dalston and highbury are hardly going to make the
project worthwhile. In reality it should be a shortcut for people from
the north and south to get to docklands via changing at canada water
or shadwell and avoiding central london entirely, end of story. For
the south that will probably work , for the north it won't. If it
terminated at Finsbury you'd have the piccadilly & victoria line
catchment areas plus the whole of the east coast main line who could
switch to the ELL there. Instead they'll all pile on the victoria line
for one stop. Terminating it at Highbury is a poor solution and smacks
of treasury cost cutting.
