	North London Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North Cross Route, one side of the Ringway 1 inner ring road, would have paralleled the North London Line.
		The western section of the line, the North London Railway, ran from Richmond to Broad Street (near Liverpool Street) via Dalston, and opened in 1869.
		The line from Richmond to Stratford will be upgraded and a connection made to the extended East London Line at Dalston.

	South London Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The line already existed from Wandsworth Road to Brixton as part of the LCDR main line: the new line was quadrupled between these points and extended to London Bridge.
		The main importance of this line is that it was a pioneering railway electrification scheme in Britain.
		That line from Wandsworth Common to Sydenham was opened on 1 December 1856 by the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway in connection with the removal of the Crystal Palace from Hyde Park to Sydenham Hill.

	Subterranea Britannica: SB-Sites: Haggerston Station
		The 1861 North London Railway Act authorised the building of a triangular junction at Dalston where a new station would be built (replacing the station at Kingsland), with a triple line running southwards for two miles, much of it on viaduct, to Broad Street on the edge of the City.
		The lines to Richmond and Watford remained and the Richmond service was reputedly one of London's more profitable but this prosperity was short lived with passenger numbers once again in decline by 1955; the Richmond service was one of the few in London marked for the Beeching Axe in 1963.
		This proposal was revived in the 1970's and on 14.5.1979 the line between Dalston and Stratford was reopened to passenger traffic and Kingsland Station was reopened on 16.5.1983 on the north side of the triangular junction at Dalston.

	CULG - Jubilee Line
		A short section of tunnel was also built just north of New Cross (1) as an experiment in tunnelling techniques (about 300m long, the tunnel ran under a disused link from the west side of the station to the East London Line and would have formed part of the northbound line from Lewisham).
		The line crosses the Thames in tube a total of four times: three times in three stations in the Docklands area (partly because of the loop in the river) and once at Westminster.
		The line is described as east/westbound from Stratford to Green Park Junction, and north/southbound from Charing Cross to Stanmore.

	Greater London Authority - Press Release

		The investigation into the North London Line Railway, which stops at Stratford, has branded the current service shabby, unreliable, unsafe and overcrowded.
		Upgrades to the Line and its stations are long overdue and many of the 63,000 daily passengers complain about the conditions and run down appearance.

	Docklands Light Railway - Development Projects - Stratford International - Option Development
		Converting the North London Line would create a new DLR route from Royal Victoria to Stratford International using the existing North London Line tracks.
		North of Stratford the DLR line will be extended to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link station.
		However these areas will be served by new DLR stations at London City Airport and King George V as part of the new London City Airport DLR extension which is due to be open late 2005.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Station by Station Guide to the London Underground - East London Line
		The East London line runs from Shoreditch station at its northern end to two termini at New Cross and New Cross Gate mainline rail stations to the south.
		The line was further extended in 1880 with a branch being built to the new New Cross station built by the South Eastern Railway.
		The fact that the disused North London line runs along most of the desired route of the extension means that Shoreditch station really had very little chance of being included in the project.

	Railways of Britain2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The line saw a lot of freight traffic from the London North western and Midland railways gaining for access to the LSWR route via Hounslow to Reading from North London a situation still in existence today.
		To start with there was no station at the junction with the main line the single coach train stopping on a relief loop for the engine to be uncoupled and to prepare to shunt the carriage to be coupled to the rear of a train from Richmond.
		The line had also been provided with halts along its route at Bath road, Woodstock road and Rugby road to try and attract more passengers but these were only crude wooden affairs and supposedly not very appealing at the best of times.

	CULG - East London Line
		In 1884 the line was leased to a consortium of the five (six from 1885) companies using it, and on 1925-01-01 it was transferred to the Southern Railway (which had absorbed three of the six lessors), who immediately leased it back to the consortium.
		The line is on the surface from Surrey Quays southwards, and in tunnel for the rest of the route, though some stations are in open cuttings.
		The line is currently operated by 4-car A stock trains (using units with both cabs equipped); these are part of the Metropolitan Line fleet and exchanged with that line on a regular basis.

	Transport Plans for the London Area - West
		In West London, nine new orbital express bus routes are proposed to interchange with the existing radial railways and express bus to create an integrated network in which any journey requires only one change, similar to the network formed by Copenhagen's radial S-trains and orbital S-buses.
		Croxley Metropolitan Line station and Watford West station on Railtrack's disused Croxley Green branch would be connected by a short stretch of new track passing to the north of the disused Croxley Green station.
		However, the Piccadilly Line is on a slope and Her Majesty's Railway Inspectorate won't allow new platforms to be built on a slope.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Docklands Light Railway, London, UK
		The area of east London known as Docklands began with the construction of docks on the Isle of Dogs in 1802, the first enclosed dock to be built off the River Thames.
		As mentioned, the North London line now uses this tunnel, and it is ironic that its presence in Woolwich is threatened by a light railway making use of the very route it replaced.
		The line originally ran articulated one-car trains, but due to the increasing demand the line was upgraded so that two-car trains began to run in 1991.

		The line would then follow the route of the North London Line via the Connaught Tunnel (which would be refurbished) to to just west of the current North Woolwich station where it would enter a new tunnel under the Thames to join the North Kent line just east of Plumstead station.
		This was conceived either as an extension of the North London Line or of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR).

	Broad Street railway station, London, an abandoned London railway station on the North London line
		Opened in 1865 as the terminus of a network of commuter railways linking east and west London (via the North London Line), Broad Street was once the third busiest station in London.
		A solitary platform remained in use until 30 June 1986, when the station - and other stations on the North London Line's City Branch - were closed forever.
		Years of neglect had left the station in a terrible state, and there was no one around to stop me clambering on to the disused tracks and taking this picture.
