Hopefully they'll start being introduced on the West Anglia lines and the Romford to Upminster line shortly. What is with that weird cardboard dalek alien looking thing. That's to measure how much space is required should Corbyn travel by train  |

In the replies to the tweet linked, it’s to test the CCTV cameras at each station. It is stood at every set of doors for a few seconds at each platform. |

I accept that the extra services are more needed in the Barking to Gospel Oak direction at that time, but I'm surprised that there's no mention of at least one in the other direction. |

What they should do is bring back the pixi trains that operated before the upgrade started that would ease the overcrowding and have a service of 15mins restored that would help with the early morning cancellations |

These are earlier morning trains (current service commences at 06.00 but the two new trains will operate before that) rather than extra peak time capacity. Anyway I thought the line was back up to every 15 minutes now. There's no need for PIXC trains now as the new rolling stock has more than twice the capacity of the old. |

Despite the ~doubled capacity, I’ve surprisingly heard a lot of complaints about overcrowding on the line on other forums. I believe TfLs next plan is to increase the lines frequency to 5tph, but I’ve no idea how soon that’ll happen! |
