The obvious thing to do would be to make both tunnels bi-directional and

dies you've still got the other one.


And this means that only have two trains can run at once rather than
the five you get, during the peak, at the moment. The W&C is a bit too
long to run as independent tunnels.

I thought the service was only 2 trains? Oh well, I haven't been on the line
for about 10 years. But even so , having the tunnels bi directional would
mean that if a train died or points failed you could still run some semblence
of a service.
