By an amazing coincidence Shenfield
has the facilities to allow the trains to terminate and return to
London.
So have Margate, Uckfield and Blackpool, I think.

But, again by a bizzare coincidence, none of them are served fron
Liverpool
Street. Do you see a trend forming?


Yup: a trend of proposing services based on capacity and convenience, not
need or future benefit.
It's a sad trend, when a bit of imagination could be so rewarding.


Did you not pay attention when told why the current services went to
Shenfield?


On that basis, they should have built the motorways in a straight line out
into the North Sea.

Now there's a thought!


A fairly pointless one, what are you on about?
