What are the service upgrade plans on the Northern City you speak of?
This has passed me straight by!


Just the stuff in the ECML RUS:
"- Six-car trains will be used on all shoulder-peak First Capital
Connect inner-suburban services as soon as trains are available from
London Overground (four are needed).
- Off-peak inner-suburban services will be increased from 3tph to 4tph
on each branch, including weekday evenings and Saturdays.
- Extension of hours on the Moorgate branch is unlikely.
- The Up Goods line (the easternmost track) from Alexandra Palace to
Finsbury Park will be converted into a third southbound passenger
track. The four stations it passes will get extra platforms on the
line, and may also get them on the equivalent northbound line, the
Down Slow 2 (the westernmost track). This will improve flexibility and
capacity.
- Extra trains will run from the Hertford Loop to Moorgate in the
morning peak."
