It's funny how these ideas get about. I have a friend who is (or

That's not *completely* insane: Dalston Junction ELLX station will be
pretty much in Stokey, and the service on the ELLX will be much closer
to a Tube-frequency/standard than a NLL-frequency/standard service.

The fact that the ELLX is in fact heading to the borough of Hackney does
make this story much less insane than the Jubiee to Dulwich one, but
"Dalston Junction ELLX station will be pretty much in Stokey"? Hardly!
It's no closer than Finsbury Park is already, and that's a genuine tube
station.

Unless you live in south Stoke Newington, in which case it is a lot
closer. Fair enough.
