This is being redeveloped to form part of the East London Line Project, which will create a new through route from South to North London, utilising the existing East London line, old Bishopsgate Goods Yard area and running up to Dalston Junction along the old Broad Street alignment to run parallel with the North London line to Highbury and Islington.  For full details see ellp (East London Line Project) or another site with lots more detail GLIAS (GREATER LONDON INDUSTRIAL ARCHAEOLOGY SOCIETY).

Information on the Broad Street to Dalston Junction section can be found here
