Javelin Trains Side-lined
In message
, at 09:27:40 on Wed, 8 Sep 2010, CJB remarked: Olympic bullet train ..... London's Olympic bullet trains Is this the new name? The problems emerged only months after Southeastern trains began running services So they didn't wobble to start with? The trains were heralded as “London's new bullet train” Were they? Didn't they have some other name... er... They will form the “Olympic Javelin” service .... oh yes, that sounds more familiar. taking spectators from St Pancras to the Olympics park in Stratford in seven minutes. To the Park. Really? Surely that's only going to get as far as the station, near the park. The problem is believed to be caused because the trains have to switch between the high-speed line and conventional tracks at Ashford and Ebbsfleet. Dodgy points then. Do they have no "wobble" anywhere else? -- Roland Perry |
