Caroline Pidgeon AM joined other Assembly Members on a site visit with London Overground managers to look at the new service which runs from Liverpool Street up to Enfield Town.
The Transport Committee is investigating the devolution of suburban rail services to TfL following the success of the current Overground services and huge investment in new rolling stock and turn up and go services.
"It was interesting to hear about the plans to improve these new routes and to ensure passengers get a far better service" commented Caroline.
One issue that did come up was the poor state of the trains when they were transferred from the private operator. This is something that needs to be carefully looked at for future transfers of train services.
The site visit also included a sneak preview and walk along the new walkway connecting Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations.
