When electrification is complete a thru service could be useful. There's physically space to convert it to a *through* platform. The pointwork to the west may need altering to allow east bound trains to access the platform. Which means the signalling needs to be changed, and in the current environment (with ever more safety measures fighting against ever more remote signallers) it appears that changing the signalling costs Network Rail orders of magnitude more money than changing the pointwork. Depends on whether they are going to have to upgrade the signalling antway which would reduce the extra cost significantly. More of a problem would be the extra moves across a flat junction interrupting the existing services, plus whether there are the extra paths available west of Gospel Oak for the trains. -- Graeme Wall This account not read. |
