Not enough. They need to be 8-car, probably 12. We don't need that
capacity now, but we will do.

3. Get all the mile long goods trains to run at night. No exceptions.
During the day it's for carrying Londoners, not bags of cement.

Not really possible. However, a plan was proposed here many moons ago to
four-track the NLL throughout, from Stratford to Camden Road west
junction; there's room in the formation to do it, with apparently only a
modest amount of land take needed towards the eastern end. With a flyover
at each end, you'd have a dedicated, grade-separated two-track freight
route across London, taking freight trains out of the NLL picture
altogether.
