So, when Freightliner uses pairs of 86's or a 90 from Ipswich Yard to
Mossend / Coatbridge, how would they reach the West Coat Mainline?

Answer, turn right at Stratford onto the N.L.L., proceed to Camden
Road & either go straight on to Primrose Hill & join the Slow Lines
out of Euston, or, turn right at Camden Road,, proceed to just before
Willesden Jct, H,L. & take the connection to the the slow lines there.

When the Goblin is opened to electric traction, it will provide a
useful short-cut avoiding Stratford & Forest Gate Jct.


No, there is no route from Ipswich to the Goblin


... avoiding Stratford ...

without reversing at Forest Gate and Woodgrange Park.


I forgot that Tilbury Freightliner Terminal is wired & does &/or used
to have 86's working there via Barking.

They also could use the electrified Goblin to avoid Stratford!
