What wrong with running the Central over the Relief roads?


- Incompatible ATP
- Signal shielding
- Dual electrification
- Platform heights
- Loading gauge
- 1992TS maximum speeds


All of which can be overcome, especially the loading gauge question. I don't
see tube stock clouting any of the bridges. between Ealing Bdy and West
Ealing. WRT to speeds, 92 stock accelerates quicker than anything on the
mainline and it's only travelling about three-quaters of a mile anyway.
