1. What works are being carried out, what will be delivered when the
closure??

- 25% Capacity Enhancement with 5th train in peak service, leading to a
12% journey time improvement and 30% capacity increase

That's an outcome, not a description of the works.

- relaying of the entire running length of track and therefore improved
ride quality

10/10

- improved journey time (circa 2 minutes)

Again an outcome, not a bit of engineering.

- replacement of old Network Rail engineering features

5/10. But which features? No mention of sticky-out tunnel sides.

- Improved maintenance facilities (power after 2300 in depots and on
Sundays

Huh? Is there a timer somewhere that shuts the power off at 11pm? A sort
of reverse-white meter.
