The electrification of the Barking to Gospel Oak Overground line has been delayed once again, and could now take until the end of 2017.
Caroline Pidgeon told the Evening Standard:
“Between TfL and NR something has gone seriously wrong with the electrification of the line.
"This has been increasingly clear for many months. Passengers were promised a year ago that the upgrade work would be finally completed by the end of June 2017.
“A year later, NR is now blatantly seeking to use the general election as a fig leaf to cover up their incompetence.”
