Why, for example, is the Eastbound District Line ALWAYS held up as it approaches Earl's Court - from either the Wimbledon branch or from West Kensington? There is no flat junction obstructing either entry. There are also 2 platforms at Earl's Court, and rarely if ever does a train from Wimbledon go into platform1 or a train from West Ken. go to platform 2 (can't remember even if there are cross-overs allowing this). There is no route from the Wimbledon branch to platform 1 (according to current Quail), but there is from West Ken to P2. Paul S But there is a route from Olympia to platform 1 (and 2). *There's a train currently arriving Earl's Court at 0712, for example. And I should have said one leaving Earls Court at 0702 and crossing all routes on the flat (given that from High Street Ken it's only possible to get to platform 4, a departure to Olympia has to block every track at some point, except the one from Wimbledon to platform 2). |
