So at Whitechapel the high level platforms are the Underground, and the low
level platforms will be the Overground.


Indeed. Does anyone know if they're going to keep the East London Line
branding once the extension is completed, or will it become just
another overground link?

Also, from the link:

"Phase two will join the East London Railway to Clapham Junction and
will complete an orbital rail route around London on which London
Overground services will run, following the London 2012 Olympics."

Surely inaccurate? There won't be a single orbital rail route;
passengers will be able to complete an outer circle journey, but only
with a few changes: Clapham Junction to Willesden Junction, Willesden
Junction to Highbury & Islington, Highbury & Islington to Surrey Quays,
Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction.
