Secondly, there *are* already extra peak time London Overground trains on
the West London Line. Also, from May onwards, the regular service is
increasing from half-hourly to every 15 mins.

There are already four trains an hour when I travel, leaving Shepherds
Bush at 1809, 19, 29 and 49 (one Southern, three LO). If we assume that
that means there'll be five instead of four, this is only a very small
improvement.

Thirdly, the new class 378 trains are far far more suitable than the old
class 313 trains in terms of dealing with large passenger numbers.

They're still utterly rammed.

Fifthly, the improvements on this line and on the rest of the London
Overground network are basically more or less all down to TfL. It's hard to
see any of this happening under the custodianship of the former operator,
Silverlink Metro.

"The other guy was even worse" isn't really a very good response to "the
current service is **** and we can't see it getting much better". I
thought that that sort of childish nonsense was limited to Prime
Minster's Questions.
