The new Tube map incorporating the new parts of LO and also TfL Rail can be seen in PDF format via this link: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/tube-map-may-2015.pdf I'm not doubting that there may be very good reasons, but I think having Romford-Upminster as a divorced bit of London Overground *looks* rather dopey!

![]() I just looked at the timetable for the Cheshunt/Chingford lines, http://www.tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms...e-may-2015.pdf and during the repeating sections (all day Saturday and Sunday and bits on weekdays), there are 8 tph between Liverpool Street and Hackney Downs, with alternating 1 minute and 14 minute gaps in either direction at Hackney Downs! The line map is also crap... it uses a dagger to show that trains to and from Chingford do not call at London Fields or Cambridge Heath, instead of just drawing separate lines interchanging at Hackney Downs, like this http://www.londonbusblinds.com/prodi...tan%20Line.jpg |

Short of building extra tracks between Liverpool Street and Bethnal Green, I don't think there is any easy answer to this problem. Peter Smyth |

I can't think of any. It will stll serve Stratford and Romford on the Great Eastern. Peak time Hertford East services continue to run semi fast via Seven Sisters and Southbury. They will also run all services via T Hale and from Stratford on the Lea Valley Main Line - there are several stations within Greater London on that route. I hadn't spotted those earlier, so they are definitely a few. When / if we get the STAR services from Stratford to Angel Road then I expect they will be with Greater Anglia as things stand. No mention yet of TfL wanting to run those services. STAR? The scheme to add a third track from Coppermill Junction to Angel Road to allow a local 15 minute stopping service to run between Stratford and Angel Road. There would be 2 extra tracks at Tottenham Hale to allow trains to pass each other. This is due to be completed by 2018/19 if the costs can be contained within the available funding. Network Rail are doing their GRIP work to develop the design and provide a more robust cost estimate. Thanks. I wasn't aware of the acronym. I'm aware NR work is going on but I thought it was for four tracking. There is info in the relevant Network Rail CP5 / planning documents. http://www.networkrail.co.uk/cp5-del...-delivery-plan See page 61. Thanks. Interesting that options for grade separation at Coppermill Junction & Clapton Junction are not mentioned. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

Interesting that options for grade separation at Coppermill Junction & Clapton Junction are not mentioned. It seems to me that a branch of the Victoria Line on the surface from Northumberland Park Depot (south east side) to the centre of the development would be far better, and it's not obviously more expensive than all of that three-tracking. Are they really three-tracking all the way to Stratford? Is the Lea Bridge line busy enough to need it? |

And even if one wanted to build an extra pair of tracks, there just isn't any space really. |
