Default Overground suspended, due to congestion?

"London Overground: No service between between Highbury & Islington and
Dalston Junction due to congestion"

Anyone care to explain? Is this people at the stations (in which case
wouldn't shifting them help?) or trains (in which case wouldn't shifting
them help?)?

That's odd. It can't be the trains surely as nothing else runs on the
lines. Maybe it's a mistaken announcement and it's a broken down train
or signals.

Sounds like some problem on the line there causing backed up trains. It can't
be dangerous levels of passenger congestion or they'd have closed the NLL too
as that shares the same stations on that section.

The status message also says "MINOR DELAYS between Crystal Palace /
West Croydon."

Are they now running a service between those stations?
