Is The Gospel Oak To Barking Line Really Back On Track?
This article in the Waltham Forest Echo is entitled Back On Track.
It details progress on the upgrading of the Gospel Oak To Barking Line.
This is a summary of the article.
- The electrification works will finish by Sunday, the 14th of January.
- The Class 172 trains will resume service on that day.
- Testing of the electrification will be ongoing.
- The bridge at Crouch Hill needs sorting. Probably over Easter.
- The new Class 710 trains are supposed to be arriving.
- There will be extra late night services.
I’ll believe it, when I see it!

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.

I rode it today and the wires look complete from end-to-end.
The spur to the East Coast Main Line also looks to be complete, but the spur to the Midland Main Line isn’t finished.
