I am delighted we have got the go ahead - the extra capacity is
urgently needed. The only worry is that work will probably not start
until 2015/16 (a guess on my part btw).

This leaves the issues of no through platforms at Gospel Oak and the
platform length at South Tottenham - have there been any feasibility
studies on either of these?

Are they planning to run west of Gospel Oak anyway?

Once they have a common fleet, it's at least a possibility, so worth
considering. Lots of passengers interchange at Gospel Oak, so they'd
presumably welcome through trains (particularly those heading west -- it's
a lot of stairs down and up).
