Is Dalston off CR2 now?


No, it's still shown in the core section. Dalston is intended as a
double-ended station (Dalston Junction-Dalston Kingsland), so it will
connect with both the Stratford and the ELL LO services. That looks like a
pretty god connection with "North London's orbital rail services", so the
experts do seem to know their stuff.

It will also connect with the LO orbital routes at Clapham Junction,
providing a much shorter, quicker link to Dalston than the existing orbital
LO service. There is also a possible spur to Hackney Central.

So, would that allow a direct connection between Dalston-Kingsland and
Dalston Junction, rather than an OSI?

Or would all three stations be combined into one complex called Dalston?
