Hey guys, as part of my press day at Woolwich I got some new infor on some future events for the Overground
While I was there I got to speak with London Rail's MD Ian Brown. London Rail is basically incharge of the DLR and Overground as well as supporting TOC in the London area.
I asked him what happened with the new Overground platforms at Stratford over christmas and when were they going to be opened?
Basically it seems that Network Rail didnt have the signalling testing to complete the work there and at the moment TfL is awaiting a new possesion to try again and commission the link.
On the subject of the new 378 fleet for the Overground I was told that the first is expected in service by March this year so a little wait longer.
As for the Oyster on National Rail within zones 1-6, ATOC is meeting this week and this will be discussed and hopefully sorted for a deadline!
Now for The East London Line (ELLX) Phase Two to Clapham Junction. It seems the DfT have made an offer for this and TfL have responded with a counter offer thats currently with the DfT. Lets hope they don't wait too long.
I will be adding flickr pictures soon and have some more information on my blog.
