Default Councillors crush tube depot plans


"JWBA68" wrote in message
...

CONTROVERSIAL plans to build a tube depot in Croxley Green have been

quashed by
Three Rivers District Council.
London Underground wants to build a new depot on Green Belt land at Long
Valley Wood to replace its existing one at Ruislip.


How would this benefit the Central Line, which is what Ruislip depot serves?
Are they proposing loads of empty stock movements from the Central Line via
the depot curve onto the Uxbridge branch (reverse), then to
Harrow-on-the-Hill (reverse) and up to Watford?

Sounds like someone has got their depots confused. Replacing Neasden would
make more sense, transferring Metropolitan maintenance to the new depot,
either together with the Jubilee stock or by leaving Neasden as a Jubilee
*only* depot.
