At a total of 11 stations, therefore, it is recommended
that interventions are investigated to understand and
address crowding by the end of Control Period 5 (CP5)
in 2019. The stations are as follows:

Basingstoke, Bristol Parkway, Clapham Junction
Liverpool Lime Street, London Charing Cross
London Fenchurch Street, London Victoria
Preston, Surbiton, Watford Junction, Wimbledon


"that interventions are investigated"

perhaps "instigated" ?

What's current business school jargon for investigate and fix ?



Most of Preston's problems could be eliminated by ensuring that 390's
are not diagrammed to use platforms 5 or 6. The narrow staircase from
these platforms and the adjacent section of the footbridge become
unpleasantly overcrowded when a Glasgow - Euston service arrives and
disgorges lots of passengers whilst dozens more are trying to catch the
train. There are very few problems of congestion when 390's use
Platforms 3 & 4. Reinstating Platform 7 for passenger use would also
ease congestion, if confined to use by 2 or 3 car trains.
