Will that line, for example, be electrified?

There are no current plans to electrify the GOBLin. A mistake, IMO.


There are plans and they are costed, what is lacking is the agreement
between TfL, DfT and Network Rail as to who pays for it.


Wouldn't they be able to hit up the DfT for the cash, or at least a
sizeable portion for it, under some rail development scheme? Then TfL
and Network Rail could each contribute whatever paltry sum they wanted to.

Are the 378s the same as the S stock for LUL's subsurface lines?
