this still one of their plans


They could at least extend a service to Fairford Leys, surely that'd
cost about £1mll+ though

Is that the name of the flood plain development?

Chiltern are extending platforms at Princes Risborough, High Wycombe,
Beaconsfield, Gerrard Cross and Wembley Stadium starting this week at
Princes Risborough.

There's work that looks a bit like platform lengthening at Gerrards
Cross at the moment. Started early, or different work?


I think you will find that they are building a Tesco store over the
tracks.

As a former GX resident I agree totally.

At Gerrards Cross that will be the Up platform. When the station was
remodelled in the 1980s a new Up platform was built on the formation
of the old Up through line. The old Up platform was 8 car's length
and more, and was often used by 2 x 4-car 115 sets. Then BR moved
some Driving Trailer Composites from the Lake District area (105s?)
and made up 2-car sets with a 115 Driving Motor Standard, and that was
the end of 8 car trains, even in rush hour. So the new platform, with
the usual short-sighted vision of BR was made just long enough for the
6 car sets.
Another poster has referred to the Tesco development which has been
on-going for several months now. For those who have not spotted this
development, and I have seen not a mention of it in MR,


Why dont you submit the pics with a couple of hundred words of an
article to MR on spec? Dont suppose they pay much but it'll be better
than a poke in the eye etc.
