They could leave a couple at Dalston junction. That looks reasonable secure.

They couldn't run much of a service with only two trains, plus the
trains may get cleaned/inspected/maintained in the depot overnight.
There's also the issue of getting drivers there and back. It seems
like a lot of complications for little benefit.

Yes but London Bridge hasn't historically been so restricted and the
ELL/Jubilee Line has been used as a key bypass.

It's pretty standard to stable some trains in underground platforms, so why
not on the ELL? Highbury and Islington would be good for another 2.

Because it's harder to secure the overground against graffitists.

Then how do they manage at e.g. Parson's Green?
