Faster trains - better for everyone
In 2011 we'll be connecting it to the extended East London line - the start of an orbital service right around London.
So we can run a more reliable and efficient service ahead of the 2012 Games, we, along with the Olympic Delivery Authority and Network Rail, are providing funds to upgrade tracks and signalling on the Overground network.
These works will be carried out by Network Rail in 2009 and 2010 and will enable us to run more frequent services on all routes by 2011.
Running in the future
The extended East London line will become part of the Overground network when it opens in 2010 - running from Dalston Junction to West Croydon, Crystal Palace and New Cross.
It will eventually link with the North London line at Highbury & Islington in 2011, creating the beginning of an orbital service around London.
Check for planned works
As we carry out the track and signalling upgrades there will inevitably be some disruption to travel - but we aim to minimise this and keep passengers informed of any planned works.
Our live travel news provides details of planned works related to this project.
