I'm vaguely aware of impending doom on the Overground, but amazed by
the lack of publicity so far.

Hidden away on the Network Rail site[1], there are a selection of
factsheets. One seems to suggest that Gospel Oak - Stratford will be
closed from Christmas till April[2], the other says that Richmond -
Stratford will be closed from Christmas till Easter[3].

These are pretty major closures, happening less than two months away,
and the only hints from TfL that anything's going to happen at all are
some cryptic clues on the Planned Works pages[4].

Any bets on when TfL are going to let passengers know what's actually
happening?
Does anyone know if it will be the whole line that's closing, or just
the eastern section?
And is there any information on when services will start running
through from the ELL to Highbury?
