And 378s won't be used on GOBLIN either.
Are they planning on buying a whole new set of EMUs just for the goblin then?
I find that hard to believe.
TfL are buying 45 four-car 710s for use on the West Anglia Routes and
the Watford DC, GOBLIN and Romford to Upminster lines
'Tis true, 31 class 710/1 AC only for Chenford & Romford- Upminster &.
14 class 710/2 AC/DC for Watford & Goblin.
So, spud is correct, 3rd rail would have worked for the local
passenger service on the Goblin but that's all.
Another AC link across NE London "IS A GOOD IDEA" if only to create
the electrified network that this country needs.
We no longer seem to have the commonsense that other countries have,
we shave pennies from new schemes just to save pennies rather than
consider the future.
AFAIK, even the link between the N.L. line & the GWML at Acton
Mainline isn't going to be wired!
Blimey.
There's a letter in RAIL asking why the link to the ECML at Harringay
isn't being electrified... I was sure it was, I remember Murphy being
awarded the contract!
