The booming London Overground: An extra carriage for every train


Link to Transport for London

"A programme to introduce five-car trains on all London Overground routes and increase the capacity of the railway by 25 cent, to meet rapidly increasing demand for the network's services, was announced by Transport for London (TfL) today.

"The £320m programme includes the construction of longer platforms and the delivery of an extra 57 carriages by the end of 2015.

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson said:
"Passenger numbers on our London Overground services have been going through the roof, but this important programme of investment will enable us to provide the extra carriages required for Londoners to take advantage of what has become the most popular suburban railway in the country."
