Perhaps the best way to raise capacity on the NLL _is_ to do the
infrastructure works on the GOBLIN, as you can then employ economies
of scale and add OHLE while doing so. Hey presto - an electrified
diversionary route that might be usable for some of the freight trains
that use the Gospel Oak - Stratford segment of the NLL.
