London Crossrail likely to work any better than Thameslink?

Three franchises if you count HEx. True, though the only tracks they'll share are in Heathrow itself, as Crossrail will use the GW relief lines and HEx is on the mains. |

My impression was that they wouldn't be doing much (if any) track sharing with Greater Anglia between Stratford and Shenfield. -- Roland Perry |

There is always the potential for failures on main lines to mean that signalliers will reroute some trains to slow lines. I understand that in the longer term it may be necessary to shove HEX on to the local lines (but I might be wrong on that). Depends entirely on the scale of FGW services post electrification and catering for growth. What's really needed for HEX is another pair of lines Airport Jn-Padd. Wharncliffe Viaduct and Ealing Broadway-West Ealing are the main problems to achieving that, as far as I can see. Anna Noyd-Dryver (Is misc.transport.urban-tramsit [sic] a real group?) |

There will still be some in the peaks as Crossrail will still run some trains into Liverpool St rather than in to the tunnels post 2019. Will they not be sharing with South Eastern in the Abbey Wood area? |
