But thats obviously in an ideal world, the real world where people

I had assumed that "trouble" was shorthand for "significant works
requiring corresponding funds for both capital and on-going, current
expenditure". If so, I am one London taxpayer and traveller who is glad
they don't take a "money no object" approach.

If there are no sets of reversing points between new cross and dalston
junction them someone ****ed up badly in the track design and they need to
put some in in case this sort of thing happens again.

I think there's crossovers at Shadwell and Canada Water.

There is a scissors crossover at the south end of the central two
platforms of Dalston Junction and another between there and Haggerston.
Then there's a third at the north end of Shadwell and a fourth at the
south end of Canada Water.

So why didn't London Overground turn trains back at Shadwell or Canada
Water instead of closing the entire line down?
