Default North London Line goes 4-car in early 2011

Ah, from http://www.alwaystouchout.com/project/43

Initially, TfL may substitute the current trains running the Euston -
Watford service (aged Class 313 and Class 508 trains) with some
(modified) stock cascaded from the Victoria line after that line
receives its new trains. The Victoria line stock is similar to the
Bakerloo line fleet, and the two could be merged fairly easily later
on (see below).

Yes, but haven't TfL ordered part of the Electrostar fleet for use on the DC
lines out of Euston? There are 24 sets on order for the North London routes,
to replace, IIRC, 26 Class 313/508 sets. With the benefits of higher
availability of new EMUs that looks like a straight replacement - or is
there to be an increase in frequency on the North London part of the
Overground?
