The Government has made no estimate of the cost of electrifying the Gospel Oak to Barking railway line. Network Rail will provide an estimate following formal sign-off of stage 3 of the Governance for Railway Investment Projects (‘GRIP’) process.

The Department for Transport has allocated £90 million towards the project (2013 prices).
