Default Dalston J bus opening and ELL worry

Does anyone know when the bus station and rear exit at Dalston Junction
is opening? It's been finished as far as I can see for a while but the
staff have no idea when.

Also, there's still very few people on the ELL - at least when I've been
on it - eg changing from a grossly overcrowded Jubilee at Canada Water
yesterday at about 6.30pm and heading north - I'm worried services will
be cut.

They can't cut the top bit without cutting the bottom bit, logically,
and from what I'm hearing people are preferring ELLX services into
Canada Water over Southeastern into London Bridge, so I think it's safe,
particularly if/when we get the step change in Jubilee capacity. Also
the northern bit is very much a work in progress due to City office
construction projects, Crossrail, extension to High & I etc. I don't
see any reason to suppose that it'll be any less successful than the
rest of the Overground once that's all in place.
