London Overground

RE: London Overground
Transport for London have approved a £320M funding for the following:-
Extension of the 57 4 car Class 378 to 5 cars.
Purchase of an additional two Class 378 5 car units
The first carriages for the extended units will be delivered in 2014 for use on the East London Line and the balance to be delivered in 2015.
Lengthening of platforms where possible is to be undertaken with extensions up to six cars proposed.
Serious overcrowding on trains has prompted this action.
