At last!


Bit late to the party, i know, but i went on it. It was very new, not
very busy, the trains were very quiet, and Dalston Junction station is
HUGE.


Why is it so huge?


IIRC it's been built with more than one eye on the future
Chelsea-Hackney Crossrail 2 line sharing the same facilities. *Obviously
building it big enough in the first place is a good deal easier than
enlarging a too-small station when it's actually in daily use.

Yet they didn't build the bays capable of taking 8-car trains?
