Default East London Line Project Questions

If they reversed in Clapham Junction would it be possible to have a train
"step back" to solve late running problems? There are sidings to the west of
CJ platform 1/2. or at least room for reinstatement.

JG.


As another poster said, the platforms would be adjacent; however, whether
services actually run through from Wandsworth Road - CJ - Imperial Wharf
(& v.v.) is debatable; for reliability's sake, an Orbirail service may
just operate CJ - Willesden - Dalston - Peckham - CJ and return. The
Circle line is an indicator that circular routes crossing a variety of
junctions perform poorly, as without a proper terminus it is difficult for
them to regain lost time.
