London Stations Cleaned
Transport for London (TfL) today announced the completion of the first major step in bringing what was once the country's most neglected railway into the 21st century. "We have brought these stations up to our standard and can now look at bringing further improvements" said Ian Brown, Managing Director TfL London Rail Within less than a year after TfL took control of the London Overground network, all 34 London Overground managed stations have been brought up to TfL standards in rail travel. Passengers will notice that the stations have been thoroughly cleaned and re-painted. The existing equipment including the public announcement and CCTV systems, information screens and lights have also been checked and repaired where necessary. Managing Director of TfL London Rail, Ian Brown, said: 'The deep-cleaning phase of our improvement programme for the London Overground network is now completed. We have brought these stations up to our standard and can now look at bringing further improvements. 'By 2010, all stations will be upgraded and refurbished and some will be remodelled depending on funding availability. 'Passengers deserve a safe, reliable and comfortable journey on London Overground.' The stations improvement programme is part of TfL's £1.4bn investment for London Overground, which will upgrade the network infrastructure for a more reliable and efficient service, deliver new trains and connect the East London line to the North London line in 2011. # There are 73 stations on the London Overground network; 50 on the North London Railway with two new stations due to open on the West London Line by 2010 and 17 stations on the East London line with four new stations due to open in 2010. Of these stations 34 are managed solely by London Overground, it is these stations that will undergo the phased improvement works
# Every day, 63,000 people use the London Overground network bringing a total of 23 million journeys every yea |
