Barking-Greenford?

In the up direction there are overtaking opportunities at High Wycombe (where the down platform line is reversibly signalled), and at West Ruislip (using the Up Platfrom Loop). This is one of the reasons why the restoration of the through roads at Beaconsfield and the down platform loop at West Ruislip was investigated; this would have provided additional passing places on the Chiltern route south of Aynho Junction. Unfortunately, Chiltern has since found that adding such infrastructure is not necessary, and have instead chosen to thoroughly resignal the route north of High Wycombe and provide bidirectional signalling on both roads between Princes Risborough and Bicester North. Where did the fourth track originally fit through West Ruislip? The present station layout only permits three between the two current Chiltern platforms. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
