Not quadrupling through Camden Rd will create a very nasty pinch
point. As soon as trains get west of Camden Rd they are effectively on
four track anyway (2 via Gospel Oak and 2 via Primrose Hill). With it
also effectively going to be 4 tracks east of Dalston (2 to New Cross
and 2 to Stratford) what is needed is 4 tracks between Dalston and
Camden Rd. This is going to remove a lot of pathways for freight and
non LOROL trains from the NLL.

Also I do not like it in the article where as an excuse it says "The
work would also cause major highway disruption in the congested Camden
area." Is this another case of private transport before public
transport? There was major long term disruption in the Paddington area
when the bridge on Bishops Bridge Road was replaced. Also I believe
that Carpenters Road in Stratford is closed. That must be causing
"major highway disruption" as well.

With all the infrastructure project cuts by Boris. When will it be
announced that the funding for ELL phase 2 will not have a chance.

I know this is a political comment, but is Boris going to be known as
the Mayor who did nothing? If this is what the Tories are doing to
public transport in London, what will the Tories do nationally if they
get into power?
