I think that the North London line is the route limited to 3 car 313s Correct. this was electrified before the DC lines even existed (in 1916). The closure of Broad Street and extension to North Woolwich was done on the cheap and I think this was the part with supply problems. I think there are also power limits on the DC between Camden Road and Dalston, but could be wrong. With the closure beyond Stratford and the electrification of the new platforms there with AC, I think that any restriction will disappear, as most of the route will then be AC electrified. Are they planning to make it all-AC between Camden and Dalston as part of the remodelling? Would certainly make sense... The DC Lines from Euston don't have such the restriction, as they were a busier railway, designed to cope with the Bakerloo stock all the way to Watford.

Yes, there could be too, I don't know if that section was re-equipped when they extended electrification to North Woolwich.

Are they planning to make it all-AC between Camden and Dalston as part of the remodelling? Would certainly make sense... I think that they have to, as the sections from Canonbury to east of Caledonian Road and Barnsbury will only be two tracks with the remodelling (of course the ELL extension part will be DC only on the other two tracks). There will still need to be AC routes for the freight traffic and to make the section from Dalston to Camden dual electrification would seem a lot of work for little benefit.
