CrossRail or CrossConnections? Guns or butter?

Moving from four to six trains an hour, as the Strategic Rail Authority is currently suggesting, seems to be a lot of investment for comparatively little benefit. It shouldn't be beyond the wit of most people to plan their journey to cope with four evenly spaced trains an hour, at the same times past each hour. If someone does just turn up on spec then a maximum wait of 15 mins isn't that much worse than one of ten minutes. Oh dear. You've made the classic mistake of people who plan these frequencies. What you are describing is a line. What we need is a network. As soon as your journey involves a change, 4 tph is inadequate on short-distance services. Even if both services are 4 tph, if you have a deadline you have to plan on a 15 minute delay at the connection - in a journey where you might only spend 15 minutes moving. This is not the way to compete with the car. Colin McKenzie I 100% agree Michael Bell -- |
