Forest Gate NR ('one' Great Eastern line) to Wanstead Park NR (GOBLIN)
- for changing from the GOBLIN from points West to Great Eastern line
to points East or vice versa.

Indeed - so close they're on the same road. Just why isn't interchange
allowed between the two?

Er, nothing bans you changing there, I've done it! If you mean why
isn't it on the maps, then that's a fair enough point.

Erm I actually meant why isn't it allowed on a through ticket. This isn't a
frivilous point as some c2c services do divert via to GOBLIN to run from
Liverpool Street to Barking etc. and vice versa.

Leytonstone High Road NR (GOBLIN) to Leytonstone (Central Line)

Very close - the end of the High Road platform (although not the section
currently in use) is above the Central Line tracks. Could a
passageway/ramp
be put in here?

That's one I've never done. What you suggest is similar to the proposed
Walthamstow Central to Walthamstow Queens Road bridge as detailed he

I can't access it at the moment. But generally I reckon that making the
Silverlink lines more interchange friendly - even if it's just a case of
allowing some of the close stations to have interchange on a through ticket
(e.g. Forest Gate & Wanstead Park) - would improve perimeter routes no end
and perhaps make it easier to get investment.

The Orbirail project at the moment seems to cross the following without
interchanging:

*The Ealing/Richmond branch of the District Line
*The Picadilly Line in the west
*The Hammersmith & City Line in the west
* NR into Paddington
*Chiltern Railways
*The Metropolitan Line - but how tricky would it be to reinstate services at
West Hampstead?
*The Edgware branch of the Northern Line
*The High Barnet branch of the Northern Line - could the Kentish Towns be
synced for interchange? I can't see additional pressure being added to
Camden Town.
*NR out of St Pancras
*NR out of King's Cross
*The Picadilly Line in the north
*NR out of Liverpool Street (unless Shoreditch High Street can work as an
interchange)
*The Central Line in the east
*NR out of Fenchuch Street
*NR services from South East London and Kent
*NR services from Norwood Junction and Cyrstal Palace - though the
interchange is obvious
*The Thameslink loop

Plus the GOBLIN lacks formal interchange with:

*The High Barnet branch of the Northern Line
*NR out of St Pancras
*NR out of King's Cross
*NR out of Moorgate
*The Picadilly Line in the north
*All the NR lines out of Liverpool Street via Bethnal Green
*The Central Line in the east - see my other post for a possible way to
build an interchange
* NR services from Stratford to Ilford
