Is it just me or has the scenery been improved recently on the overground high speed section between Stratford and ebbsfleet? I did a run in the javelin yesterday (first time for a while), and it really feels like the scenery is 'busier' than I remember, with way more buildings and houses. I have to admit, I tend to spend more time in the cab than flying above the train looking around, and this section is largely fenced in, so perhaps I've just never noticed it before, but it really seemed different to me...
Yeah I felt that too the last time I ran ntp. I do vaguely remember someone mentioning that the team had revamped the dock area in msb when they were doing fixes on that route, so perhaps they are doing a bit of a touch up on each route as they do fixes...
