Default East London Line 'trial service'

In his blog today, Dave Hill tries to explain the ELL trial service that
should start in early April.

He seems to get his description of the initial service a bit wrong, in that
he has an 8 tph service from Dalston Junction to New Cross Gate, with 4 then
carrying on to New Cross ??? but more interestingly he mentions an early 4
tph service to Crystal Palace, with the West Croydon branch being added
later (at the timetable change) in May.

Me thinks Mr Hill might need to take a glance at a map!

FWIW during the Thames Tunnel tour, the gent "from London Overground"
accompanying our group (who was probably actually from TfL London
Rail) hinted heavily that there would be a trial service before the
May TT change - though of course that isn't really news.


Has anyone heard any more about the service intentions? *Is it possible to
feed 4 tph to Crystal Palace within the existing SN timetable - obviously
the actual times don't have to be the same as those intended in May, but
this hasn't been predicted anywhere else TTBOMK.


Interesting - first time I've heard that. Er, as to whether it would
fit in with the existing timetable... pass!


BTW, he also suggests a look at London Reconnections, which has a couple of
recent sets of ELL station and depot pictures. *Recommended viewing...
