Problems On The GOBlin
There is a forceful article on the Waltham Forest Guardian website entitled ‘No quick solution’ to Overground ‘commuter crush’.
It describes the overcrowded Class 172 trains on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line.
It is another related problem to that of the Pacers all over the country, which is partially caused by the lack of availability of modern diesel multiple units. In the case of the GOBlin, there is also short platforms and a shortage of train paths caused by the freight train using the line.
It is a problem that won’t go away until longer trains come in with full electrification in 2018.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
