Latest soundings suggest that the the funding to electrify the Barking to Gospel Oak London Overground line may fall vitim to the current round of spending cuts.
The line, which includes Haringey Green Lanes was due to receive £25million funding from Department of Transport. But now user groups fear that the money will never be handed over.
The scheme is awaiting the outcome of a comprehensive spending review, due to be conducted in October.
Joanne McCartney, London Assembly Member for Enfield and Haringey, said: "TfL needs to conduct a detailed engineering study of the project to determine what the total cost will be. Mayor Boris Johnson needs to get his skates on before the offer of £25million is withdraw by the Department for Transport."
