Talk:John Julius Angerstein
Angerstein wharf is a freight only branch off the line between Blackheath and Charlton (Angerstein junction). Not entirely sure if this is the main "north Kent line" as it and it exact relationships with the Bexleyheath line are an unresolved issue on wikipedia. As i understand it aggregates trains run to here from various sites around the south east and beyond (via the west London line) for the construction trade. see the map page 2 and the small mention on page 3. Service frequency is roughly 3 trains per day (page 4). No details seam to be available form this document as to weather its electrified.

- Have a look at Google Earth, 990 metres west of the flood barrier. The line's not electrified: on the main line you can just make out the third rail, but there's definitely only two rails on the branch. Moonraker88 19:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Its Network Rail route "SO 290B", and its defiantly not electrified (p71 of the Network Rail Rules of the Route [[1]] )
