Project Overview

RfL was funding a scheme, known as the London Overground Capacity Improvement Programme (LOCIP) to extend the current class 378 EMU fleet from 4 car operation to 5 car, with the commencement of 5 car operation on all routes operated by London Overground.

To attain the project objectives, a scheme plan was produced along with other supporting documents. This work was commissioned in two stages and staged scheme plans were produced.

This project was undertaken as part of London Overground Capacity Improvement Programme (LOCIP) to extend the current class 378 EMU fleet from 4 car operation to 5 car to be introduced on all routes operated by London Overground.

The overall objectives of LOCIP were to:

  • Enable five-car operation on all London Overground routes at existing service levels except on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line
  • Extend the usable length of station platforms to accommodate five car trains via signalling infrastructure alterations and / or platform extensions
  • Implement the safe and effective use of Selective Door Operation if a platform cannot be economically extended, whilst maintaining safe operation and planned headways
  • Enhance train stabling facilities
  • Provide passive and active provision where practicable for future expansion of the train fleet to six car configuration
