East London Line Extension

With the infrastructure on the ELLE now in place, testing of the line has now begun. The line merges disused sections that date back over 140 years merging old and new.

Phase I is set to open by June next year. The extension to the west of Daltson Junction heading to Highbury & Islington should open by February 2011. Phase II towards Clapham Junction should be complete prior to the Olympics.
