Posted by David Fairthorne on Wed Sep 6 15:17:21 2006, in response to London Overground, posted by David of Broadway on Wed Sep 6 00:40:45 2006. Thanks for those interesting links. There is also an article at This is Local London.The London Overground is to be a collection of existing lines (some routes currently operated by Silverlink, plus the East London line, currently being extended) under a new name; altogether it will serve 71 stations. The mayor says that trains will run every eight minutes; but from where to where? That level of service (with 4-car trains) is needed for the existing East London line, and it may be justified for the busiest parts of the North London line and the Euston to Watford line, but it would be too much for the other Overground routes. Some Overground routes share tracks with non-Overground routes, and it is important that the non-Overground routes should not have to suffer from reduced services in order to boost the Overground. |
