Like what? Seriously, it would be in effect a combination of the
existing Wimbleware service with a truncated H&C service, switching at Edgware Road, not a bad location for such a switch. That's combining 2 lines which have to mesh with a ton of other services all around the 'circle' (ie, merging with the Metropolitan Line, Circle Line, District Line) at a bunch of flat junctions (is there any grade separation anywhere?), which sounds easier said than done to me. Firstly, you'd have to assume that the existing timetable would allow the services to run straight through - firstly, are there exactly the same number of services on each line per hour? I doubt it? The minute you add in another service on one of the stretches, that's likely to have a knock on effect to the other lines, and once you start messing around with those, they'll knock on everywhere else, surely? And even if they're exactly the same number of trains on each route, do they arrive and depart from Edgware Road with a convenient 30 second between them? If not, that would impact other services again. Or do they mesh in perfectly? |
