In the December edition of Modern Railways John Sully reports that TfL
and Network Rail have decided on the track layout for the section from
Dalston Kingsland to Camden Road following the opening of the ELL to
Highbury and Islington. The proposals include a turn back platform at
Camden Road.

According to the November issue of Modern Railways, only the 4tph from
New Cross will run to Highbury & Islington - the other 8tph (from West
Croydon and Crystal Palace) would terminate at Dalston Junction. But
if the ELL has a segregated route all the way to H&I (as the current
issue shows) then surely all the trains could run there, providing
much better interchange opportunities? Would presumably need extra
trains to be ordered though.

I don't think it's correct that the ELL will have a segregated route
all the way to H&I, that could only happen of there was a bit of major
shuffling about with the adjacent freight line(s) that run to the
north of the passenger lines (and the freight line is alternately
single and a pair of lines as well).

Plus any terminating train at H&I would need to have all the
passengers turfed out and then be reversed, all of which would take
time and block up the lines.
