I just noticed that Tufnell Park is shut because the lifts are being
replaced.

So I suppose closing the existing entrance and building a new
Underground / Overground interchange at Station Road with escalators
cutting diagonally down to the existing Northern Line platforms is off
the menu for another 40 years.

More like 100 years, if ever. There is no Mayoral policy to add
stations to the rail network in London nor to properly improve
interchange despite the myriad locations where this could be done with
some money and imagination.

What about a direct physical connection, likely underground, between
Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction?

Not much point in that as you can just go to Canonbury. A better plan
would be to put the eastern curve back.

Except that the Eastern Curve garden is being showcased on Gardeners
Question Time right now...
