GOBLIN electrification
I've always wondered about this too - it seems like a good fill-in
scheme that would be rather inexpensive. It would have the dual
benefit of releasing 150s from GoBLin duties and allowing through
services as listed from Barking, providing an alternate route for c2c
users who take the first train and change at West Ham for central
London destinations.

You might not even have to immunise the LU signalling either, which
can only help save money.


The snag is shortage of 313 units, isn't it? They are using some 508s on
Euston-Watford because of it.


One would hope that by the time any GOBLIN electrification happens, the
313s will have been replaced. Even if not, the LUL-ification of the DC
Lines ought to free up a few units.
