I can't see the HSE/HMRI/Network Rail allowing that [3rd rail], as it
wouldn't be an extension of existing 3rd rail electrification. That
notwithstanding, there aren't exactly very many 3rd rail freight locos
around either. ;-)

Having said that, I believe they're putting in a connection between the
GOB and Eastbound District at Barking to allow easier access for
Engineering trains.
