2019: Is there any serious prospect of the Castlebar line being added to the Overground fold? Either when the franchise expires in 2020 or, as you suggest, even earlier.
Great Western will need to run diesel units on the other three Thames valley branches (Henley, Marlow, Windsor) for the foreseeable future, so it makes oparational sense to use a common fleet for all four, rather than split one off to LO. LO would surely not want to have to maintain a one-of-a-kind train just for that branch.

GWR could supply a train to LO as a subcontract, although considering just how shambolic the current government is just 5 months after an election, who is to know what kind of leadership we will have by then.

You could also include Shepherd’s Bush station opening in 2008, and the complete replacement of the train fleet in 2010.

Ah, I see you already listed the 378s in 2009, when the first one entered service. 172s on the GOB didn’t appear until 2010 though, I think.

Hounslow to Hendon could be the next new route, it’s alluded to in the new Mayors Transport Strategy.
New station at Renwick Road between Barking and Barking Riverside is another thing that’s being discussed.

Shepherd's Bush Overground was originally due to open in 2007, but then there was a rather lengthy saga where they had to move a wall by about three feet, which took the best part of a year.

Shepherd's Bush actually opened in Silverlink garb, because when it was first fitted out (circa June 2007) the Overground brand hadn't been worked out yet.

You mention the new bridge at Shoreditch, but not the new link between Surrey Quays and Queens Road which allowed the extension to Clapham Junction
