A stock after closure of ELL
"John Hearns" wrote in message ... wrote: Was just thinking about the ELL (yes I truly have no life) and got to thinking: On the subject of the ELL, how is it going to be electrified? (Yes, I know it has electrification at the moment and steam trains no longer run under the river). Perhaps a stupid question, but on any part of the proposed orbital railway (ie. ELL, NLL etc) are there any overhead lines? I guess not. The ELL will be DC third rail - and I shall be very surprised if in due course it isn't run by Southern, as contractors to TfL as the services will have to be timetabled into the existing paths, indeed the extension of the railway to Crystal Palace and Croydon will subsume certain existing services. The NLL and WLL have a mixture of DC third rail and 25kV ohle at the moment, and the stock is currently dual voltage just like Thameslink, and will remain so, although there are various proposals for extending the 25kV setions of the NLL. I'm sure there are details of the stock requirements on TfL's website somewhere... Paul S |
