Rail services to be improved for residents of property in Camden
Transport for London (TFL) has announced a project to upgrade railways, beginning next month.
Network Rail is to carry out the work on behalf of London Overground, with the aim of increasing services between Camden Road and Dalston.
The news could be of interest to those thinking of renting property from Estate Agents in Camden, as up to eight trains per hour are expected to run from 2011.
It comes as part of a £326 million upgrade and Howard Smith, chief operating officer of London Rail at TFL, described the work as "vital".
"This major investment now will result in a fantastic network well in time for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games," he remarked.
A trial in Camden recently led to a decision to introduce new speed cameras in other London boroughs.
The devices are wirelessly linked, in order to track motorists at every entry and exit point in residential areas.
