Yes, if they're still moving the route around, completion by 2030 seems
highly unlikely. Your guess seems as good as any.

======================================

To quote from my rule book.

"Expect movement on any track, in any direction at anytime."

Am I the only one who think the Seven Sisters - Alexandra Palace branch
is like an April Fool joke? I might be able to see some sense in it if
they could reopen the abandoned alignment and extend it to Stratford
over existing lines, but as a new build tunnel linking to a line almost
exactly at right angles to it, nuts! What's going on there? Has some
survey determined that there is an unusually high proportion of
transvestite dwarves in that area, a demographic hitherto neglected by
transport planners?

You've not see the TD-TSI amendment in the fourth railway package, then?
