Not sure which is happening here. One suggestion is to re-instate four-
tracking between Camden and Dalston, which would be sensible, and then
to dedicate one pair of tracks between Highbury and Dalston
exclusively to the ELL with the other shared between NLL and freight,
which would be barking mad, given that ELL and NLL trains will run at
the same speed in the same direction making the same stops and freight
won't. But if this did happen then you'd expect the NLL tracks to be
OHLE and the ELL tracks to be DC.


I'm just searching for evidence that the ELL will be third rail but without
success so far - however the 4 car rolling stock for ELL is certainly
announced by TfL as 'single voltage' and unless they are going to put up new
OHLE all the way to Crystal Palace and West Croydon, that will have to be
DC...
