Well one of the newsletters says that in (IIRC) September the junction at
the Surrey Quays end will be put in place. It says there will be some
possessions needed to make that happen.


It does indeed say that in the second newsletter, but I'm sure the
pointwork was already in place before the East London line reopened.


It is - the points and short lengths of track are clearly visible from
trains (and on the latest Google aerial view). Connection at that end
shouldn't be too intrusive assuming work beyond the limits of the existing
track (such as in the underpass) is in the green zone. It should only be
additions to signalling and subsequent testing that will interrupt normal
traffic.
