[snip comments re in-cab signalling]
That technology has been around since the 1920s and is widely used in
other nations.

They could have started with the ELLX, since it won't really interact
with the NLL.

If it works out, then perhaps they could start considering the NLL in
phases. I know that they plan to be rid of goods trains on the line, but
trains can also be fitted with cab signals. They don't have to be*built
in when the units are being constructed.

Woah, there's no plan to get rid of goods trains on the NLL - there is
however a plan/ aspiration to shift goods traffic onto the GOBLIN
(Gospel Oak to Barking line) and off the busiest section of the NLL.If
the GOBLIN was electrified, this would help matters somewhat.
