As i work for TfL I had the chance to ride on the new East London Line Extension from New Cross Gate to Dalston Junction and Also Take Part in a Detrainment Exercise.

Most of the Stations on the Extension Look like they are ready to Open Except for Haggerston and Dalston Junction which still have a few last minute snagging jobs to be done, but that is only looking at the station from platform level.

We stopped of at Shadwell for Tea and Biscuits which was most welcome after being stuck in the tunnel for a while and the station looks as if it would be ready to open tomorrow.

The date of opening is looking like being the 8th of April but this could be subject to change and all of the stations may not open I.E Haggerston may remain closed if it is not ready but the others are, if i receive any more information i will post it here for all to see.

Yes it has been very useful. Thanks very much for keeping us updated with your insider info, and for putting up with my moaning with such good grace. :-)

Well seems my little reporting spree about the East London Line Comes to an end with:-
The Line is now fully opened and running a full service to all destinations.
The next milestone will be the opening of the extension to Highbury and Islington sometime next year. Hope you all found my reports useful.

Enjoy the Long Awaited East London Line (Overground) Services
