Default Goblin to close for Electrification work

Have I missed this being reported he

http://www.networkrail.co.uk/news/20...aves-way-GOBE/

"Vital work paves the way for electrification of the Gospel Oak to
Barking line"
....
"Due to the scale and complex nature of the work, a phased eight-month
closure of the line is necessary, starting in June 2016. This consists
of a part closure from early June to late September 2016 with trains
running between Gospel Oak and South Tottenham during weekdays, and a
full closure of the line from October 2016 to early February 2017"

No mention of benefits of electrified route for freight.
