The route is short, protected and just needs track and signalling. If this was built then Overground ( ex- ELL ) services from south London via the east end straight to Stratford for the olympics become a reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658085720825863941.post-21879258371374104422008-04-03T12:00:00.000+01:002008-04-03T12:00:00.000+01:00This is a useful site.

I hear 2011 is now the proposed opening of the Link. Could be a last minute thing just before the Olympics due to open. No politician has ever shown any serious interest in such a development until we won the Olympics. I look forward to the further developments of the project.

They can't reuse the old platforms, since they're having two tracks rather than the four before.<BR/><BR/>The ELL will use normal Electrostar trains as used by Southern, Southeastern and c2c. The "tube" trains on the old ELL and mainline trains are the same size, give or take the odd inch.Mr Thanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380941017046817239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658085720825863941.post-9808289818621468272008-03-16T17:13:00.000+00:002008-03-16T17:13:00.000+00:00Trains for the new ELL - if they are using the old...Trains for the new ELL - if they are using the old North London Line tracks, then this is at a different gauge to LU trains, yes?

I wondered if you knew where specifically the new stations of Hoxton and Haggerston were going to be located. Specifically Haggerston - TfL's brochure materials state that it will be running along Frederick Terrace and the park (ie. north of Lee Street) whereas other sites say that it will be using the old platforms from the North London line, of which the platform is still in place south of Lee Street and effectively running between the parallel streets of Acton and Stean. Any insight?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
