    If you could re-shape the TfL lines

    This is the thread I've been looking for. Here we go: District and Piccadilly Lines switch termini. District now goes to Uxbridge, while Piccadilly goes to Ealing Broadway. Extension of the Docklands Light Railway through far East London: New branch at Gallions Reach, to...

    (Entirely) new railway lines

    Well, there were plans to extend the Overground to Abbey Wood, and TfL are planning to extend the DLR, skipping Barking Riverside. But this may be the best option. It’s cheap, gives Thamesmead a better link than straight to Gallions Reach, and also a railway crossing on the east end of the...

    (Entirely) new railway lines

    Okay, so I do have a few ideas for a bunch of rail companies in the South East, so here we go: New c2c single track branch line between Benfleet and Canvey Island. Usually will be 2 trains per hour in each direction. Benfleet may need to be rebuilt, but that is about it, as well as a limited...

    TfL night time service ideas

    If Night Tube eventually reopens, I can see these services being added in the future: DLR: Stratford International/Bank - Canning Town - Beckton/Woolwich Arsenal. No service to Lewisham via Bow Church or to Tower Gateway. Overground: Gospel Oak - Barking Riverside, Stratford - Clapham...

    Other lines that could be "Overground-ised"

    I was thinking of getting the West Ealing - Greenford line (currently operated by GWR) absorbed into the Overground network.

    FANTASY: If you could reopen/build any new line/station that are not part of the network

    I would open a new line from the GEML down to Mersea on two branches. Western branch: Chelmsford - Mersea via: Chelmsford Boreham Danbury Hazeleigh Maldon Heybridge Goldhanger Tolleshunt D’Arcy Great Wigborough West Mersea East Mersea Eastern branch: Colchester - Mersea via: Colchester...

    Changes to the TfL network: ====== Bakerloo Line: The new Bakerloo will consist of 3 new eastern branches: Core section: Elephant & Castle (LU, NR) Burgess Park Peckham North New Cross Gate (LO, NR) Lewisham (DLR, NR) The line splits at Lewisham creating the current proposals of Hayes...

    Potential transport options for Thamesmead?

    I agree with what you say, an in-between station (lets call it Rippleside) would be a great idea to serve c2c and maybe the Overground. A DLR hybrid would do well, interchanging at Barking Riverside and maybe a Beckton curve to relieve trains heading to London/Stratford. I think the Overground...

    FANTASY London Underground, Overground, DLR, etc.

    For the eastern part of Crossrail 2 spurring from Hackney, I think it should go like this: Hackney Central - Direct link to Overground and Hackney Downs Station. Platforms labelled A & B. Zone 2 station. Stratford - New building directly under Westfield. Three exits, northern exit to Stratford...
