www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/corporate/Item04-Project-Approvals-Oct-2012.pdfThis is the latest paper showing project approvals plus those planned for the future. One future approval relates to Overground Capacity Improvements with an indicative price tag of £250m. Unfortunately there is no detailed scope at this time but I guess this might be for GOBLIN extra carriages and 5 car 378s plus the platform works. There are some other LU & Surface projects that people might be interested in.

One other interesting bit of possible news is this report from an electrification contractor conference held by Network Rail. Note the reference to GOBLIN electrification work possibly starting in 2016   www.therailengineer.com/2012/10/09/an-electrifying-conference/There are other bits of possible extra scope, beyond what the Government has announced, in the report but these are not London related. |

Overview
Consultation on plans for TfL site at Silwood
In line with the Mayor’s 2012 manifesto, London Overground trains will increase from four to five carriages by December 2014. To support these new, longer trains, we are proposing to build train sidings in Silwood Triangle.
London Overground has become one of the UK’s most reliable rail services. As passenger numbers continue to rise, the service is approaching capacity. Demand on London Overground has grown by 110% in the last 4 years, 180% when the new East London Line is included. Capacity was doubled in 2010 to 2011 but trains are as full now as they were before. Further demand growth of 34% is forecast by 2020. To ensure London Overground continues to provide a high level of service as demand grows, Transport for London (TfL) is looking at ways to increase capacity. This continues our current investment programme, which will see the new connection from Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction open in December 2012. <snip> consultations.tfl.gov.uk/rail/silwood/supporting_documents/Silwood%20Map.pdf

For Wapping and Rotherhithe, SDOs would be needed. I wonder what impact this would have on the Thames Tunnel
