For instance

If I can remember the times of NLL trains I change onto it at West
Hampstead to get from St Albans to Canonbury, it saves time. But the
trains arent frequent enough to risk it if you dont know the time so I
go to Kings X and get a 73 bus. If NLL was turn up ang go frequent I
wouldnt need to bother Zone 1

What about some improvements to the South London Line? Reinstating a
station at Brixton (with platform level interchange to the main line)
would be a start!

What are the improvements to the NLL? £91M doesn't seem to by much
these days so it can't be much of an improvement.

It should be for:
- signalling enhancements
- improved power supply
- new "resilience measures" to counter late-running freight services - I
think this just means a new/reinstated freight loop
- platform extensions for 6-car trains where necessary
- frequency doubling to 8tph

I'm not sure how they are squeezing the £91m for those measures, but
that's what it's for.

I believe there are power supply issues as to why they only run 3 car units
to Watford.

Are they actually planning to increase the length of trains, where will
the extra trains come from, also for increased frequency. Incredible
for a line that 30 years ago BR would hve quite happily confined to the
waste dump (passenger services anyway). I have always thought the 3 car
trains from Euston to Watford Junc needed extra carriages when you see
the overcrowding so would have thought that this should take priority
over the NLL.

Why doesn't that stop them running 7-car Bakerloos?

Does anybody have comparative figures of the number of miles of commuter
rail north and south of the Thames and within the M25 ?

This is what I REALLY want to know !! I'm sure somebody, somewhere knows.

Well, I suppose they might have downgraded the power supply since
then...
