I'm not aware of any short term plans for improved frequency. I can
imagine longer operating hours and a few extra peak trains maybe, but
otherwise it looks like the standard service level will be no
different to Silverlink's for the first year or two.

Agree - many of the TfL announcements describe improvements that cannot
happen until 2010 or 2011. Major service frequency improvement on the North
London Railway (today's NLL & WLL) are planned for 2011, although the
closure beyond Stratford does allow for a small number (3?) of extra units
to be diagrammed for a slightly improved service, there are many platforms
to be lengthened and signalling changes to be done as well...

Certainly - and it needs even more improvements, starting with
electrification - not likely in the next few years I suspect, hence the
thread about the mysterious new stock orders...

Enhanced frequency should be coming in January 2011 according to that
brochure, which I think consists of 4 tph Clapham - Gospel Oak -
Barking, and the East London upgrades.
