I still don't get the 'interchange' link between Dalston Junction and
Dalston Kingsland. * Is there a practical link or do you have to exit
on to Dalston Lane or Kingsland Road respectively then cross two busy
roads to get to the other station?


The practical link is the pavement.

You actually only need to cross the main road(s) *once* - if you come
out of Dalston Jn onto Dalston Lane (which the only entrance that's
open at the moment), turn left and go to the south-east corner of the
junction there's a diagonal crossing across Kingsland High Road to the
north-west corner - voila, you're on the right side of the road for
Dalston Kingsland station (with a couple of side roads to cross).

You can see this crossing in the middle of this Bing Maps bird's eye
view - it's sandwiched between the two yellow cross-hatched box
junctions:

Of course anyone going to Dalston on the first week of the full ELL
service should be aware that the NLL isn't running from Dalston
Kinsgland until the beginning of June (replacement buses run instead).
Plus the LO network is looking particularly patchy this Sunday - see
the maps that Ian of IanVisits has put together here...
