Default ELL works trip

surrounding developments there?


I noticed yesterday the panels aren't light-tight at the joins, so
there's a tiny amount of daylight, at least for now.

* As a follow on thought to the overcrowding issue, could the line
take 6-car trains, including somehow getting over the obstacle of
short platforms at Canada Water?


Very good bloody question. There seems to be no consistency to their
choices of platform lengths (SHS is 8 car; DJ has 4 car bay platforms
and 6 car through platforms, not sure about the other new stations).
An explanation is in order.

* At Dalston Jn, can you still see the alignment of the north-eastern
spur from the station site?


I can answer this one. They've safeguarded a route/tunnel within the
structure but it's now only wide enough to take a single track.
