Dear John

Crossrail's priority is to get approval for the project.

During peak hours we plan to run 12 trains per hour,
First Great Eastern currently run around 14-15
on the Shenfield line. Our proposal is that up to 6
trains per hour would continue to operate a suburban-
style service from Gidea Park to Liverpool Street station.


Thanks, Jonn.
I think this is a terrible idea. You'd have three different platform groups
at Liverpool Street for trains to Stratford. I can't see too many people
using these "up to 6tph" from Liverpool Street Overground in the evening,
when there are 12 tph downstairs... but then again, you'd be sure to get a
seat on them. Personally, I'd rather see the North London Line's 4tph
extended from Stratford to Gidea Park, or perhaps Upminster via Emerson
Park.
