AIUI the NLL is only being resignalled for shorter headways, it will
still be conventional NR signalling, but will all be controlled from
Upminster, rather than a number of local signalboxes.

Thinking about it, the whole question about what's happening on the
NLL may be to do with the phased nature of the four tracking around
Camden Town. Perhaps the final transfer to Upminster will only be done
when the second phase of the work is complete, thinking back to
discussions about the reducton of the scope because of the bridge
repairs needed at Camden Town itself?


What's that about Upminster?


Upminster is where the new signaling will be controlled from.


On trains towards Dalston, anyway. Trains heading the other way will
obviously be controlled from Downminster.

YOU in a movie. Even though he's dead. -- ChrisV82
