Default Steam between North Woolwich and Custom House...


A nice idea, but it seems a shame to plan a steam service - as the
line is 3rd rail equipped, it would provide a rare opportunity to set
up a heritage Southern electric operation.


The plan is that both steam and electric trains will operate. However,
the heritage line will cease to function when (if) Crossrail comes into
being as it will need the line and the North Woolwich Station site.
