Proposed developments

See also: West Anglia Main Line#Future developments

The Greater Anglia RUS includes a number of proposals for the future development of the route. In the medium term, 2009-14, this includes minor infrastructure works and additional rolling stock to allow main line peak-service trains to be extended to 12-car formation. A number of developments are also intended for the West Coast Main Line depending on the status of future development at Stansted Airport.^[3] Enhancements to the power supply of the route are intended for completion by 2012 to interface with those carried out on Route 6 and Route 7.^[4]
