Improvements to the North London Line
He (Ken Livingstone) added: "Simply bidding for the Games has brought
forward a host of transport improvements - with the East London Line extension, the new £400m ticket hall at King's Cross, and the £91m package of improvements to the North London Line all given added momentum." What are the improvements to the NLL? £91M doesn't seem to by much these days so it can't be much of an improvement. Kevin |

Improvements to the North London Line
Maybe the NLL's forthcoming truncation east of Stratford? (Albeit
replaced by a new DLR branch.) |

Improvements to the North London Line
What about some improvements to the South London Line? Reinstating a station
at Brixton (with platform level interchange to the main line) would be a start! -- Regards, Max B Visit me at http://www.thebattens.ndonet.com "Dave Arquati" wrote in message ... wrote: He (Ken Livingstone) added: "Simply bidding for the Games has brought forward a host of transport improvements - with the East London Line extension, the new £400m ticket hall at King's Cross, and the £91m package of improvements to the North London Line all given added momentum." What are the improvements to the NLL? £91M doesn't seem to by much these days so it can't be much of an improvement. It should be for: - signalling enhancements - improved power supply - new "resilience measures" to counter late-running freight services - I think this just means a new/reinstated freight loop - platform extensions for 6-car trains where necessary - frequency doubling to 8tph I'm not sure how they are squeezing the £91m for those measures, but that's what it's for. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London --- avast!

This is being considered as part of the second phase of the East London Line project, but it would cost an absolute fortune; the previous station on the SLL at Brixton was halfway to Loughborough Junction, and constructing new platforms at Brixton itself would be extremely difficult. It would probably cost about £70m just by itself. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

Improvements to the North London Line
And Heaven forbid that we should spend any money south of the river, after
all we have the South Circular to keep us happy (well occupied anyway)! -- Regards, Max Batten Visit me at http://www.thebattens.ndonet.com "Dave Arquati" wrote in message ...
