The ELL is proving popular up Palace-way, I'm led to believe.

The only down-side is that they insist on terminating the off-peak trains
in platform 5 rather than platform 3. Platform 5 is a much longer walk
from the exit, and has much poorer cross-platform connections. I think
the only reason they do it is to deliberately annoy the passengers as
much as possible (but Overground is a TfL operation, so that's not
surprising, is it?)

They almost certainly mainly use platform 5 as it is between the
through tracks, meaning that the departing train won't get in the way
of another westbound through service. Trains departing from platform 3
block through trains in both directions.

Of course. You are absolutely hilarious, by the way.
