GOSPEL OAK TO BARKING LINE

ELECTRIFICATION

This is a £133 million project which is funded by the DfT and TfL, while the development is being delivered by Network Rail. It will electrify the line from Gospel Oak to Barking enabling four car electric trains and electric diesel trains to operate which will double the capacity. The whole line is 14 miles long which runs through six boroughs, hundreds of thousands of people will benefit from the lower emission trains. We are providing some of the hard working individuals who will be helping to complete this project by 2018.
