The expensive-to-fix bottleneck that would leave you with might be
enough to kill the whole project.

So what is required is new points [...] at the junction of the Parkland
walk.

The walk currently ends with a blunt abutment high above the ECML, and
at a fairly sharp angle to it. It requires a lot more than points.


I was having a look at your blog last night, stacks of info there, certainly
easier to look things up than on the LU site!

Have you had a chance to look at the recently published NR South London RUS
at all, quite a lot in there to distil, and some interesting stuff about ELL
Phase 1, and the effect on the existing timetables from NR's perspective.
They seem (to me) to be worried about the fact that whilst they're trying to
get NR services up to 8, 10 or 12 car, the ELLX trains will only provide 4
car replacements, of course they accept that underground stations can't be
extended. Also seem to be suggesting that the WLL Southern services run to
South Croydon for easier turnrounds.
