The piccadilly trains seem to run very slowly into the northbound
platform at Kings X and its been like that for years. Anyone know
the reason?


There is a speed restriction due, I understand but would need to
confirm, to the condition of the track on the junction work. Plans are
in place to fully replace the junction and remove the restriction thus
restoring line speed. We are waiting for a confirmed date as to when the
work will be done but the last estimate said it was due in about 4-8
weeks. I'll post the planned date when we get the update.
