Electrified L.N.E.R. to Join Underground System London, Apr. 22.
The section of the London tube between Moorgate in the City and Finsbury Park, a North London suburb, was closed soon after the lunch hour today until early Monday morning to permit the London Passenger Transport Board to carry out one of the quickest and most extensive "change-overs" in the history of the London underground.
This engineering feat is connected with the electrification of the L.N.E.R. suburban lines and the linking of them with the underground system. It will involve heightening of the track and alterations to the signalling system, and will result in the substitution of the entire rolling stock by more modern coaches.—Wireless through Reuter.
