The NLL is 25 kV OHLE between Acton and Camden Road, and between Dalston Kingsland and Stratford, and will be all the way between Acton and Stratford once the NLL refurbishment is complete. The WLL switches from 25 kV OHLE to 3rd rail between North Pole Junction and Shepherds Bush. Goblin remains diesel worked (and if it is electrified it will be 25 kV OHLE. BTW, the Broad Street to Dalston line, most of which is being incorporated into the ELL, was originally 4th rail, but IIRC was converted to 3rd rail before closure. Peter And all electrified parts of the current London Overground were four rail at some point, weren't they? Ah, maybe not Dalston to Stratford. I believe the stretch from Queens Park to Harrow & Wealdstone is still four rail, otherwise Bakerloo passengers would have to get out and push! |
