Affected location: Newham

Illustrative image: June 2016 sees a 9-month closure of the eastern section (South Tottenham to Barking) of the busy Gospel Oak to Barking route. This is to allow electrification work to take place for both the frequent passenger service operated by London Overground as well as freight traffic. From September 2016, the western section from South Tottenham to Gospel Oak is also closed with the full line re-opening in 2017. The service will resume, but continue with the 172s "under the wires" until new Class 710 EMUs — Phil Richards from London, UK/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0
