That'll be the hot air from the spokesman explaining away the next delay
in opening.

There's no delay - the opening date is Sunday 23 May. There haven't
been any spokespeople explaining away any delay in opening because
there hasn't been any delay in opening.

Whatever. It was just a light hearted remark.

All that money spent on new track , trains and doing up the stations so
the south end has a through service to stations that were already well
served and the north end goes to places no one will ever want to visit.
Except it doesn't go to finsbury park , the one destination that might have
been useful.

I think you'll be surprised at how popular Dalston is becoming -
theatre, jazz club, famous market etc - and Highbury at the upper end of
Upper Street and by more clubs, the Arsenal etc is hardly not already
popular.

Moreover, I am hopeful that in time we may see further development.
Perhaps in time we will have a four track NLL with ELL trains reaching
Camden Road, or even Queens Park. There are no plans yet, but who
knows!
