A loop at Herne Hill is not the only way to increase capacity on the Vic - a flying terminus would do the job just as well, without the pain of turning trains around. Yeah, but a loop at Herne Hill would be a very great deal more useful! -- "Mrs Redboots" http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/ Website updated 3 April 2005 |

I'd rather they extended it to HH than changed the one at Brixton. -- "Mrs Redboots" http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/ Website updated 3 April 2005 |

In message .com,
TheOneKEA writes It can have as many as you want. Heathrow T123 has 2. And the Next Train Out doohickey doesn't work right either... Actually it does - as soon as a train gets the signal to leave, the other train (assuming there is one in the platform) becomes the 'next train' and indicates as such, as the driver of that first train should now be closing the doors and be on his/her way, and all passengers arriving on the platform should be directed to the other train to allow this to happen. The fact that some drivers sit about for 2 minutes or so doesn't change the fact that they should not now be there and the other train is the 'next train out' -- Steve Fitzgerald has now left the building. You will find him in London's Docklands, E16, UK (please use the reply to address for email) |
