North London Line information
Anyone have a link to travel information about the N London Line please?
Silverlink's site with real time information disappeared (naturally enough) last night. I can find nothing on the TFL site. (After all the trumpeting about improvements that is not a good start.) -- Robin |

(After all the trumpeting about improvements that is not a good start.) -- Robin It is indeed surprising that there's no train running or engineering information on the TfL website yet - there is a London Overground page at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/modalpages/5011.aspx, but it's still the pre-launch version. My only guess is that there might be some public launch of London Overground today or tomorrow and the full website section might only go live after that happens. But that's pure speculation on my part. However in the meantime one can get running information on the London Overground lines from the National Rail website, via the following methods... Live Departure Boards - enter a starting station: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/modalpages/5011.aspx Current service alterations - text search the page for "Overground":: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_bulletins/today.html Planned engineering works - again text search the page for "London Overground": http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_bulletins/ currentAndFuture.html Today there is the normal half-hourly sunday service on the North London Line, and no part of the line is closed. There is also a normal half-hourly sunday service on the GOBLIN and the all-stations Watford Jn to Euston line. Next weekend on both saturday and sunday (17th & 18th Nov) the North London Line service will be suspended due to engineering works between Acton Central and Richmond and a replacement bus service will operate. |

Overground lines from the National Rail website, via the following
methods... Many thanks. It did not occur to me to look at http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ They do have information - eg http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk...dep.aspx?T=HMN Live Departure Boards - enter a starting station: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/modalpages/5011.aspx I could not find N London Line there. I may be missing the link. And http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravel...partureboards/ does not cover overground. But... Current service alterations - text search the page for "Overground":: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_bulletins/today.html Planned engineering works - again text search the page for "London Overground": http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_bulletins/ currentAndFuture.html Yes, thanks. -- Robin |

And in the 'Live Travel News' section stuff about LO can now be found under 'rail'. |

The National Rail Live Departure Boards (LDBs) can be found by following this (correct!) link: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ldb/ The LDBs, as you have found out, give information for individual stations. Meanwhile the TfL departure boards page does not (yet) give any information for London Overground services. Current service alterations - text search the page for "Overground":: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_bulletins/today.html Planned engineering works - again text search the page for "London Overground": http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_bulletins/currentAndFuture.html Yes, thanks. -- Robin |

AIUI we'll have to wait for the signalling upgrade for anything as advanced as that on the District and Circle lines at least. Don't think anyone really needs it for the W&C though! All I meant to indicate was that the National Rail LDB system is already in place and up and running, so it would be very easy to incorporate LDBs for LO stations into that TfL webpage. |

It is a pity this page does not have direct links to the detailed LO timetables and live travel news published elsewhere on the TfL site. |

Regrettably the link to the PAYG "valid lines" diagram still points to an old map. I was also surprised that by the map of the overground at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...Overground.pdf to which there is a link on page http://www.tfl.gov.uk/modalpages/5011.aspx. That shows wheelchair access to the N London Line at Highbury & Islington. Have they hidden lifts to both platforms somewhere? If not, is it possibly to a map of the overground as it *will be* in 2010 rather than as it is now? -- Robin |
