Default North London Line - Caledonian Road to Canonbury

The NLL re-opened today between Stratford and Gospel Oak. Platform
extensions where needed seem to be mostly in place, and the signage is
the same, except at three stations: Canonbury, Highbury & Islington and
Caledonian Road & Barnsbury. These three all have the London Overground
roundel. The last station seems to become an island platform, whilst the
others are both four-platform stations, though the southern set of
tracks/platforms are still being worked on. NLL trains use the northern
pair of tracks at H & I and Canonbury. West of Highbury, a lot of tracks
is missing, but then the westbound NLL takes over what must have been
the former eastbound NLL track through Caledonian Road. Camden Road and
Dalston Kingsland seem to be unchanged.


is it a trip worth going out of your way to travel along? I was half
tempted to take a trip along it after work tonight? (I'm in Canary Wharf,
but going to Canada Water, heading up to DJ, wandering over to Dalston
Kingsland and heading over to H&I before coming back to Stratford doesn't
seem too ridiculous, does it? Would you bother?)
