How will most of the building materials be brought on site anyway?

I thought work had been going on for ages in terms of bridge
rehabilitation etc? Surely some materials have had to reach site - I
imagine via road.

Regarding the transport of materials to the site - as the curve from
Dalston Junction to the NLL is a late entry to Phase 1 of the ELLX, and
will open a little after the rest of Phase 1, I'd preseum nothing will
be arriving by rail from that end. In which case whatever materials that
do arrive by rail will come over from the mainline New Cross or New
Cross Gate.

Canal! The Regent's Canal runs right into the middle of the northern ELLX;
they can bring things in by barge, unload them there, and distribute them
along the alignment.

Of course it sounds like a great idea - I bet it's been discounted for
some rubbish reason though! Perhaps some stuff will come on the water,
though if it was part of the plan I reckon they'd be making a small
song and dance about it.

I'm not mad, you know!

Copious evidence to the contrary exists!

Wasn't there a plan to use canal barges for something in the Croxley Link
project?

Dunno.
