mothballed
But I can't see it being resurrected any time soon, not if commuter numbers
are permanently on a downwards projectory.
Also "TfL will also have to further investigate driverless trains"
I hope people won't mind me plugging it here, but my first book, a
history of the Bakerloo Line, was published by Crowood Press a few days
ago.
It is available in print or electronic form from the publisher at
https://www.crowood.com/details.asp?isbn=9781785007453

"Roads minister Baroness Vere, who heads the task force, told
the meeting that a full repair of the bridge would take six and
a half years, more than twice as long as previously feared.

My local authority, Waltham Forest, have produced a leaflet
with ideas for various schemes for developing the borough.
The ideas are far more sensible than is normally the case
with Waltham Forest Council..
One proposal which does strike me as eccentric is to build a
new station in Leyton at Ruckholt Road on the line from
Stratford to Tottenham Hale. First, the site is only a few minutes...
I've just bought a BR Kings Cross suburban lines WTT from 1971. It
shows a path for stock transfers from Neasden to Drayton Park as
