Gospel Oak To Barking Line

Gospel Oak To Barking Line

The Gospel Oak – Barking Line is a railway line in north and east London which connects Gospel Oak in North London and Barking in East London as part of the London Overground network. It is sometimes known as the Goblin (for Gospel Oak and Barking LINe), although this is a nickname rather than an official title. Unlike most railways in London, the line does not pass through the central Zone 1. Traditionally the line has played a minor role in London's transport system; however, it is now receiving significant investment to increase its capacity. The line is part of the Network Rail Strategic Route 6, SRS 06.03 and 06.05. It is classified as a London and South East Commuter line.

Famous quotes containing the words gospel, oak, barking and/or line:

    Theologians should not be ashamed to admit that they cannot enter a contest with such antagonists [the sceptics], and that they do not want to expose the Gospel truths to such an attack. The ship of Jesus Christ is not made for sailing on this stormy sea, but for taking shelter from this tempest in the haven of faith.
    Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)

    The leaves are all dead on the ground,
    Save those that the oak is keeping
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Her voice is thin and her moan is high,
    And her cackling laugh or her barking cold
    Bring terror to the young and old.
    O Molly, Molly, Molly Means
    Lean is the ghost of Molly Means.
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    Andrews: You married him only because I told you not to.
    Ellie: You’ve been telling me what not to do ever since I can remember.
    Andrews: That’s because you’ve always been a stubborn idiot.
    Ellie: I come from a long line of stubborn idiots.
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
