Default East London Line extention gradient

Will it have the greatest gradient? I believe from what
I've been told about the proposed route that it will go
from low level to near Bishopsgate above Liverpool St
very quickly and this will be the steepest part of the network.


IIRC, the steepest gradient will be 1 in 30, and this will be the steepest
part of the passenger network, all though there are a huge number of other
points which are equally steep. There is a steeper line in Ealing Depot.

It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
