Gerrards Cross update 5/7/05
In message .com,
Adrian Auer-Hudson writes One can't imagine how the passenger feels, having reached Princess Risborough to be going backward to Aylesbury. They probably feel as I did when I last had to do that during engineering works, in order to get back to Birmingham: grateful that there was a through rail service at all at that time and that there wasn't a replacement bus for part of the journey. I guess as long as the UK has politicians she will have a bizarre railway system. True up to a point. However, Chiltern nor politicians can truly be blamed for the circumstances which have caused the Gerrard's Cross closure. Keeping the route open to Banbury via Verney Junction would indeed have been useful now but can hardly have been justified *solely* in case of a closure on one part of the line as now. To do that, every section of track would require a diversionary alternative. -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |
