It looks like the weekend disruption on the B&GO will continue for at least another year (see news below). I really can't work out what it is they're doing that's taking so long - and we had a recent spate of signal problems (!) and train failures. It was like the old days. I don't know why technicians haven't improved the bit of track just outside Barking where the train jolts, nearly throwing people over. I have reported it but I'm just ignored.

"LONDON OVERGROUND PLANNED CLOSURES ON GOSPEL OAK - BARKING LINE: To enable the running of more frequent and reliable services across London, on time for the Olympics in 2012, there will be temporary closures on various lines of the Overground network. TfL will run two rail replacement bus services an hour calling at all affected stations in both directions.
The first set of improvements, to enable the running of 4 trains per hour will take place at weekends on the Gospel Oak to Barking line until 2011 during which time there will be a reduced service most weekends.
LONDON OVERGROUND PLANNED CLOSURES ON RICHMOND - STRATFORD LINE: In addition to this, further works are scheduled to take place on most Sundays until 2011 on the Richmond to Stratford line. TfL will also run a rail replacement bus service during these times.
There will be an extended period of line closure between GOSPEL OAK - STRATFORD in the first half of 2010. Dates are still to be confirmed."
