The November Modern Rail showed two options for the NLL along this
stretch.
The common feature of both options was four platform stations at

and Highbury & Islington, with the existing platfoms used for ELL, and
the
two new platfoms (the dualled freight lines effectively) for the NLL
trains.

For some reason I'd always assumed it'd be two for freight and two for
passenger trains, but I suppose segregating it makes some sort of
sense - essentially it's just extending the two track Stratford-
Dalston section further west to Highbury. Do they say how the various
tracks west of there might be used?


I'd expect the north side track to be a freight line or loop (no platforms),
south to be freight or pax, centre pair pax only?

(Someone linked to a Network Rail presentation recently that had
detailed planned track layouts, but inevitably I can't find it now.
Anyone?)

Possibly this, page 22, but it seems very out of date now, maybe because at
that stage the ELL wasn't going beyond Dalston Junction?
