North London Railway Infrastructure Update
The specification for the North London Railway (predominantly on the
Richmond to Stratford line) upgrade, which includes signalling and
core route track works, within the cost ceiling of £326m (including
contributions from ODA of £82m and £78m from Network Rail) has been
agreed with Network Rail.

Is there a final track diagam issued in respect of this upgrade?


Haven't seen an up to date 'official version' but we had a discussion a
little while back in uk.railway about the 'agreed version' published in last
December's Modern Railways.

In the thread 'New DLR station opened today' on 15 Dec 2007 at 2118, Peter
Masson described it from the MR diagram as follows:

"December Modern Railways suggests:
Dalston to Highbury & Islington ELLX will have the southern pair and NLL the
northern pair (doubled from Canonbury) with 4 platforms at each of Canonbury
and H&I. ELLX will terminate in the platforms at H&I, though Dalston
Junction will have 4 platforms, with the outer tracks for through trains
to/from H&I and the inner pair for trains that terminate at Dalston
Junction.
From H&I to Camden Road the NLL will have 4 tracks, the southern pair
westbound and the northern pair eastbound (though two tracks will have
reversible signalling, presumably to allow service to continue if one pair
is blocked for maintenance). Canonbury is shown as having three platforms
(no platform face on the northernmost line, so this will presumably be
mainly used for eastbound freight). Camden Road is also shown as having
three platforms - from the south a westbound platform, a west facing bay, an
eastbound platform, and an eastbound line without a platform face.
There will be a single track connection west of H&I between the ELLX and the
NLL, presumably for stock transfer and maintenance trains ...
