I can't see the need for crossrail 2. We already have Thameslink and in
north london there's the moorgate line.
I think those lines are pretty full in the peak.
Are thameslink using ATO in the central section yet? Thats supposed to improve
throughput
AFAIK. Yes, the moorgate line is busy (I use it once or twice a
week) but that unfortunately is down to delays almost all the time which
almost always seem to be down to a cockup by the TOC or its staff having a lie
in. On the rare occasions the trains are on time they're busy but not crush
loaded.
If its simply to improve the public
transport in hackney then just build a new tube line or branch off the
victoria line
The victoria line isn't exactly renowned for half-full trains; and
I don't think there's much scope for increasing the capacity much.
That is a fair point.
It also doesn't improve public transport in Chelsea.
Frankly I doubt many of the inhabitants of that area give a monkeys about
public transport.
