North London line then it was switched to . Later, it was cut back to . A tunnel, the Hampstead Heath tunnel, runs under Hampstead between and . The line is double track throughout, with a mix of triple and quadruple track between and . The former North Woolwich branch included a section of single track between Custom House and North Woolwich stations, and the Broad Street branch was at one time formed of quadruple track. During the February–May 2010 blockade, the , and stations were rebuilt to allow the extended East London line to serve Highbury & Islington on fully segregated tracks
Quadruple-precision floating-point format the double-double technique above, although that technique does not implement IEEE quadruple precision), since direct hardware support for quadruple precision is, as of 2016, less common (see "Hardware support" below). One can use general arbitrary-precision arithmetic libraries to obtain quadruple (or higher) precision, but specialized quadruple-precision implementations may achieve higher performance. A separate question is the extent to which quadruple-precision types are directly incorporated into computer programming languages. Quadruple precision is specified in Fortran by the codice_2 (module codice_3 from Fortran 2008 must be used, the constant codice_4 is equal to 16 on most processors), or as codice_5, or in
