Default Northern Line worry

Actually I have heard some services to Willesden using ELL, is that
true? However, would the existing A-stock fleet enough for services on 2
big lines? And is the entire ELL would appear on a future tube map with
both orange and outline (Network Rail lines) livery?


AFAIK, when the ELLE is finished, the line will be handed over to Network
Rail and run as a normal railway line, like the NLL (ie badly!).

On which point, which franchise would the ELL be part of? If it came into
Silverlink's hands, they really could run trains from west London; NLL
trains could turn off in Dalston and head south.
