Default ELLX uses for Broad Street route

The old route out of Broad Street to Dalston Junction is built for
four tracks throughout. Given that the ELLX is likely to only require
two of these tracks, does anyone know what the remaining formation
will be used for?

For that matter, how will the tracks themselves be positioned? One
smart thing to do would be to run them down the centre of the
formation, so that in case patronage begins to pick up
significantly, a set of outside loops can be built at the stations and
new platforms added, to permit non-stopping of trains.

It's two parallel double track viaducts though, isn't it? With space for
station platforms as islands on each viaduct?
