An example of that sort of
thing, the North London line, seems fairly heavily used with the trains
often being uncomfortably packed at busy times. I know I go on about
this all the time, but I think it would be even more heavily used if a
more frequent and reliable service was provided and the stations were
done up a bit.


And if it were better-publicised. My Canadian colleague had no idea of
its existence, and was solemnly travelling from Islington to Canning
Town via Central London until I realised that it was the North London
Lines that went to Canning Town (which I hadn't known until I looked,
out of curiosity, at what lines did go there), and told her it would be
quicker for her. Which it is! I just wish the South London Line (which
I use) would be extended beyond London Bridge/Victoria.....

Well, the ELL will be running 4tph along the South London Line to
Clapham Junction whenever it finally opens (2010 is currently floated).
