I'm sure this has been covered but if we were to forget about the

you prioritise to reopen to relieve pressure on existing routes. Or
re-double track routes that were made single line.


An example from my own area would be the Lewes - Uckfield line.


Redoing the West London Line, and it's various connections, to give a
10tph passenger service. OHEL down to Shepherds Bush to allow a
change- over in station, but I guess that's not really re-opening or
doubling


What about freight? Also, no real point in moving the changeover point. The
378s entering service with LO, and the 377s in use with Southern can
changeover on the move, so there is little advantage to be gained by putting
up a short distance of extra wires, and as pointed out before now, there are
additional costs involved in immunisation of the LU Hammersmith & City
signalling if OHLE is extended southwards.


Or DC northwards to wembley central perhaps


The better solution methinks.
