They both do already, though in the future the DLR will go to Stratford twice. While we're on the subject, can trains from Stratford on the new route head west at Canning Town, AIUI no - not without reversing at least. This will still require a complicated junction south of Canning Town, replete with a flyover for grade seperated movements. This PDF illustrates the planned service pattern: http://developments.dlr.co.uk/pdf/extensions/SIE%20Proposed%20frequency%20Changes.pdf and can trains from the west head south at Poplar? No without reversing again. But trains from the west - from Bank/Tower Gateway already head south directly from Westferry to West India Quay and to anary Wharf and points south. See the DLR map (PDF): http://www.tfl.gov.uk/dlr/pdf/network/zones.pdf DLR plans to remodel the North Quay Junction - that at the nexus of Westferry, West India Quay and Poplar - adding a fly-under for services travelling southeast-bound from Westferry to Canary Wharf, which would miss West India Quay because of practical reasons. This would mean there were less conflicting movements at North Quay Junction. Read more at Dave's site: http://www.alwaystouchout.com/project/30 This fly-under wouldn't change the fact that trains from the west couldn't head south at Poplar - if you look on a map or visit on the ground you'll see that Poplar station is too far to the east for this to be possible. |

Seeing that TfL is due to take over the North London (When is that due to
happen?), have they ever thought about further extending the DLR further west? Methinks that it would be a boon for Hackney, which suffers from a lack of any tube stations. I can imagine the DLR going out to Highbury & Islington, as it would allow connections to the Victoria Line as well as to the ELL at Dalston Kingsland. And NLL would terminate at Highbury & Islington. |

Apart from the fact that Stratford High Street is really anything but - the shops (which is what a "High Street" brings to mind) are all up on the Broadway - I liked the fact that the name of Stratford Market was being resuscitated. But there again, Stratford Market is not a market any more so my argument is well flawed. But it would have been nice to bring the name back. Perhaps even better would have been to rename it Stratford Bridge, which was the name of Stratford Market station from 1847 to 1889. And there is still a bridge there. Anyone know whether the DLR station will keep the look and feel of the old Stratford Market building? Or is it going to be refurbished into hideous perspex like the rest of them? As for the decision to change Cody Road to Star Lane, I guess this makes more sense, but Cody Road is quite some way from Star Lane isn't it? I know I pick up my couriered parcels from Cody Road which is the Western side of the Silverlink track, and Star Lane is of course East of the track (quite a bit East). So has the location of the station changed at all in the rename? Sorry, so many questions there.... !! |

It should be ok just before a terminus, Tower Gateway effectively has a single line branch to it, and that off a line interworked with trains to Bank. I guess a train will just depart from one platform as soon as one arrives in the other. Paul |

I can imagine the DLR going out to Highbury & Islington, as it would allow connections to the Victoria Line as well as to the ELL at Dalston Kingsland. And NLL would terminate at Highbury & Islington. TfL's takeover of the North London Line and the rest of the Silverlink Metro franchise begins in November this year, when it will be rebranded as London Overground. AFAIK no proposals exist to extend the DLR further west, although there have been proposals to extend it northeast slightly from Stratford International to Temple Mills. Passenger traffic on the NLL between Stratford and Highbury & Islington is presently good, and quite busy, with many of passengers making connections at Highbury & Islington (for central London). Plans are in the works for significant enhancements to the heavy rail service on the NLL, initially by extending trains to four cars but later by doubling service frequency from 4 to 8tph. Extended East London Line services will interwork with these from west of Dalston beyond Highbury to Caledonian Road & Barnsbury. Conversion of the line to DLR would preclude this interworking and prevent operation of through services from the ELR to the NLL, the key link in the creation of the orbital railway route via Clapham Junction, Willesden Junction, Highbury and Canada Water. The NLL here is also used by freight, and once again conversion to DLR would preclude this. Whilst the NLL southeast of Stratford is being converted to DLR operation, passenger routings on that section of the line are quite different to those on the densely populated and heavily-used section through Hackney, where a higher proportion of journeys run through to the west and where the DLR would not be able to provide a particularly attractive alternative to the heavy rail service. In the medium term, London Overground services will provide an attractive service across Hackney, linking into the Underground at Highbury, Stratford and Whitechapel, and providig access to parts of the City via Shoreditch High Street station. In the long (long, long) term, Crossrail 2 would provide Hackney with a service equivalent to (if not superior to) the Tube by linking Hackney itself and Dalston to King's Cross, Tottenham Court Road and Victoria. -- Dave Arquati www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

Dave, as you seem to have a good view of all the upcoming changes - do you think the use of the term 'Overground' for the south London high frequency services has got any legs? I had a quick look at the website for the 'Overground Network' - it seems pretty stale, is it still being actively promoted? There doesn't seem to be much likelihood of Ken running the services in the short/medium term, and the risk is that with 'North London Railway', 'NLL', 'ELL', WLL' Overground[TfL]', and 'Overground[NR]' there is a real risk of a lack of corporate identity, and therefore passenger confusion?...

TfL are quite keen on establishing a good identity for London Overground services. AIUI the Overground Network branding will be phased out starting ASAP. I'm not sure if any other branding or identification will be used in its place - it was semi-helpful in indicating medium to high-frequency off-peak services (some of which were brought up that standard with encouragement from TfL), but there are probably other ways to deal with that. -- Dave Arquati www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

I thought it was the other way round, i.e. 8 tph first (from 2009) and longer trains later. Although your site implies that all the new trains for the NLL/WLL/ELL will be of 4 cars, the notes at the end of TfL's press release of 5/9/06 said "24 dual-voltage three-car trains for the North London Railway from 2009; 20 four-car trains for the East London Railway when it opens in 2010". In TfL's response (Feb 2006) to Network Rail's draft Cross-London RUS, it says "Our research suggests that 3-car operation [on the NLL with 8 tph] may be sufficient to meet 2016 forecast peak hour demand ... but not beyond." -- Richard J.

Just to add that I doubt the old Stratford Market Station building will be part of the new Stratford High Street station since the platforms are slightly to the south of the old station and the entrances (via a new footbridge) will be on Bridge Road and Burford Road. Don't know if hideous perspex is still in fashion with the DLR station architects. |

Before the last timetable change, and hence before the route from Stratford to North Woolwich closed, these extra rush-hour trains departed from the low level platforms. |
