  • Barking-Gospel Oak Line User Group
    BARKING-GOSPEL OAK LINE USER GROUP www.barking-gospeloak.org.uk RESPONSE TO CROSS-LONDON RUS CONSULTATION Introduction The Barking-Gospel Oak line (BGOL) is one of the few unelectrified routes in an otherwise electrified area. Electrification would be highly desirable, yet it does not feature in the RUS. This is very disappointing, as it would bring a number of advantages: electric-hauled freight trains would be able to use it, and the operator of the Silverlink Metro/North London railway passenger concession would only have one type of rolling stock to maintain. An added advantage is that 3 or 4-car electric units would cope better with increasing passenger loadings than the existing 2-car DMUs, which have difficult coping with peak loadings even now. We believe that without investment in the electrification of the Barking – Gospel Oak Line and other link lines considered in this RUS (Cricklewood to Acton Wells, Acton Wells to Acton Main Line and the Kew Curves) that many of the benefits that this RUS seeks to achieve will not be achievable. We strongly urge Network Rail to upgrade the Felixstowe- Ely – Nuneaton line to the W10 standard loading gauge, so that freight which has no need to pass through London can avoid it altogether and free up much-needed space for additional passenger services and additional freight traffic originating from the planned new Shellhaven development, which is envisaged on both the Barking – Gospel Oak and North London Lines. The same applies to reinstating Cambridge-Bletchley-Bedford. (NB – some existing freight paths on Barking-Gospel Oak have never been used!).
