Covers the London Liverpool Street to Cambridge/Stansted main line and
London area branches. Quick highlights of proposals:
* 12 car trains London to Cambridge and Stansted in 2012; 'longer'
trains on the other routes
They're going to have to get their skates on to build the Cambridge island
platform then!
* 10 to 15 minute reduction on London to Cambridge and Stansted
journey times
Welcome for sure.
* extension of London Overground services from Stratford to
Northumberland Park (or a shuttle service)
* grade-separation of Coppermill Junction and four-tracking from there
to Tottenham Hale
But not North of there?
* removal of many level crossings in the Lea Valley, both road and foot
* 100mph ruling line speed
* second tunnel on approach to Stansted Airport
* signalling alterations to allow overnight services to/from Stansted
Airport
