The Gospel Oak – Barking Line is a railway line in the inner northern and eastern suburbs of London which connects Gospel Oak in the north and Barking in the east. It is part of the London Overground network. It is sometimes known by the nickname "Goblin" (an acronym from Gospel, Oak, Barking and LINe), or even tautologically as "The Goblin Line". The line does not pass through the central Zone 1. The line used to have only a minor role in London's transport system but now with docks established well to the east of London there is significant investment to increase its freight capacity as part of the Network Rail Strategic Route 6, SRS 06.03 and 06.05. As a passenger line It is classified as a London and South East Commuter line.[4]
