Work to the District, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines will include a new signalling system, new track, longer platforms and rebuilt train depots. Tfl said the plans for a new signalling system include the oldest part of the network built, which was built in 1863 and "belong in a museum". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-32034660 This, of course, is the long-delayed SSL resignalling contract that has had at least two false starts so far. The new track, S Stock trains, depot extensions and platform extensions have already happened, in some cases, several years ago. I'm sure looking forward to that two minute service at Chesham The four minute service on the Circle will make me happy. I note no-one here has picked up the markedly increased cost. It's something Roger Ford has written about regularly, and I think the imminent issue of MR will have more on it. I don't think TfL comes out of it well. Roger was tweeting about it yesterday. Nothing about it from him in April's Modern Railways. My copy came this morning. Yes, I guess he'll write about it next month. |
