Surprised it's not been posted on here already (though I doubt there's
anyone who doesn't actually know....) but the ELL is due to start running
fully to Highbury and Islington from this Sunday.

There was informed speculation (which had been relayed on here) that
just such a thing was going to happen, but no confirmation - so this
appears to be confirmation of that (he is a proper journo so I'd think
he's got some sort of inside source for this, i.e. above and beyond
the chit-chat on various internet fora - though as you go on to
say...).


(though slightly surprised that this dude who writes the bbc mind-the-gap
blog needed to be told that the orbital route requires a change at H&I)

Indeed.

Anyhow, obvious point, but this'll further enhance the utility of the
ELL and allow the line to really come into its own - though thus far,
despite the missing link 'around the corner' at Dalston, patronage
seems to have grown fairly well.
