Ignore that post, I seem to have got the junctions mixed up and
I'm looking at the wrong place!

Does anybody know if there is still track on the Canonbury
Curve (off the NLL towards Drayton Park)?. When I had a ride
past there a couple of months ago to see if the track was still
there, I saw tracks and assumed the link was still open.

However, I've just seen a signalling notice stating that
Canonbury West, Canonbury East and Dalston Junctions will
completely removed from 1st June 2010.

Google Earth (June 27 2010) shows all the tracks and crossover
still in place. However there appears to possibly be two
buffers in place at the ELL end of the curve. I suppose that
track from Drayton Park could still be there as a siding, but
with the point work to the ELL line removed.

The curve was removed temporarily and reinstated since that date. I
suspect the notice you saw related to the beginning of the works.

Thanks for that.
I was getting a little tired by the time I was looking at it :-)
