Extend the ELL to Alexandra Palace?

It would not be hard for the trains to be able to go to Finsbury Park via Canonbury tunnel when this remodelling is done. I have not seen the plans for the junction, but I suspect that there will be a lead from the ELL towards the number 1 lines at Dalston (the number one lines are the lines with overheads, number 2s have third rail). That's still a flat junction, so I'm not sure it's operationally any better than crossing all the tracks at the Canonbury end. The actual line which now goes to Finsbury Park could become a bi directional line allowing trains to run towards Canonbury. The expensive-to-fix bottleneck that would leave you with might be enough to kill the whole project. So what is required is new points [...] at the junction of the Parkland walk. The walk currently ends with a blunt abutment high above the ECML, and at a fairly sharp angle to it. It requires a lot more than points.
