5 car Overground trains to Watford Junction

wrote: In article , d () wrote: "Constrained" obviously has a different meaning in railway parlance then. Even a couple of trains an hour to finsbury would be better than nothing. Constrained in the sense that TfL and the Mayor would like to run a more frequent North London Line service but isn't being allowed to do so because of lack of capacity, allowing for the freight paths. The recently changed layout introduces what are in effect freight loops at Caledonian Road & Barnsbury but the Canonbury curve is to the east of them. Is it really necessary for freight to use the NLL in the first place? Surely there must be other routes it can take. Or just do most freight at night with a limited service in the day. -- Spud |

I thought you knew everything? Obviously not or you would have know about traffic from the UK's busiest port to its busiest main railway line. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

Actually I've looked at the link to the ECML on google maps and the only one I can find is facing the wrong way for ELL so I take back what I said. Pity. -- Spud |

The busiest main line isn't the ECML, as I'm sure a man of your great learning knows very well. |
