The East London Line is basically a north-south route, except for the
upcoming section to Highbury and Islington. But what if a connection
were made to the Lea Valley Lines, which according to my calculations
(which are sometimes wrong!) are only three-quarters of a mile away
from Dalston Junction)? I'm not sure whether this would be best on the
surface, elevated or underground, but then you could have West Croydon
and Crystal Palace trains to Enfield Town and Chingford...

Sorry just daydreaming again!

I think it is very much a daydream. The difference in height is
evident at Hackney Downs / Hackney Central. There is no space at
Graham Road to add a north / north eastwards spur as it would reach
line height north of Hackney Downs and past the junction to Clapton
and Chingford. I would much rather that the long promised and not
delivered passenger interchange link between Hackneys Central and
Downs was put in - that would give the link between the two sets of
lines and I'm sure it would be very well used.

I won't repeat my ideas for the Chingford Line - people will start
yawning.
