There must at least be synergy between upgrading NLL for passengers and for
freight. For example, there ought to be a good case for electrifying Barking
to Gospel Oak for either passengers or freight, and it doesn't need doing
twice.


But freights using GO-Barking cannot get on to the GE main line
(except with a double reversal).


They can via Lea Bridge and Stratford.
