Good news for those who use this line, TfL are going to place an order for 4 carriage trains which will double the size of the existing trains.<br><br>"The Gospel Oak to Barking route, which is already part of London
Overground, is being electrified by Network Rail and due to be completed
in 2017. The new four carriage electric trains that will operate on this route will provide improved journey times and more capacity."<br><br>
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2014/april/tfl-begins-search-for-supplier-to-provide-new-trains-on-new-and-existing-london-overground-routes<br><br>So there is likely to be quite a lot of disruption in 2015-2017 but it's great this is being electrified. Also, as the new trains will be electric and 4 carriage it will give opportunity for more through running from Gospel Oal towards Willesden Junction.<br><br><br>
