Part of Overground line to be shut down for months

Passengers using the Gospel Oak and Barking Overground line may be in for months of chaos when it is shut down for four months while it is electrified.

From June to September trains will not run between Gospel Oak and South Tottenham at the weekend.

And from October until February 2017 the line will be completely closed.

Replacement buses will operate on the route when it is closed and electrification should be complete in June next year.
