Tfl's website now says that a second phase is planned for December, with
expansion into North London being developed next year.

Does anybody know which routes these will involve? I've had no luck

getting
an answer out of Tfl as yet.


I don't see how they can expand the mainline train services in north

london
without demolishing lots of buildings. Theres no room left for new track.


www.overgroundnetwork.com

It's not about new track, it's a combination of more frequent services and
re-branding. It currently covers the Twickenham via Richmond, Teddington via
Wimbledon, Dartford via Greenwich, and Croydon via Norbury lines. I'd guess
Hayes, Dartford via Bexley and Croydon via Sydenham might be in the next
lot; and the Shenfield, Chingford and Watford lines after that. However,
this is all guess work - was wondering if anyone had any actual knowledge.

Thanks,
Jonn
