Won't effect much of use outside of London.

DLR will convert East of Stratford on the NLL. And general improvements here and there.

A double tracking may take place near Weymouth, where there is the single line branch on the SWML.

I have a map of all the new transport links planned, but I'm afraid I cannot find it at this moment in time. I can think of two schemes off the top of my head, those being Greenwich Waterfront Transit and Cross-River Transit.

Javelin Service? Please explain. :)

the javelin service will be like a Pendolino-style train that will get you from London St.Pancras to Stratford in just 7 minutes
this service is to relieve the pressure the Central Line already has

All going ahead without the Olympics, and the "Javelin Service" is officially the CTRL-D service, although the units will obviously now be named 'Javelin', heaven knows what class they will be, Class 395 'Javelin' perhaps.

3rd rail is usually classed in the 400 series...
Click to expand...

1xx - DMMU/DHMU
2xx - DEMU
3xx - AC EMU
4xx - DC EMU
5xx - DC EMU
9xx - Departmental Unit

It'll come under 3xx as it will be AC, and will be dual voltage too, what do you think the CTRL is ;)
