Warwick Gardens at night (orbital rail)
Earl Purple wrote:
Yes, the A12 does provide an alternative route to Docklands just as my proposed extension of the West Cross Route would provide an alternative link from the A406 to the A40 (other than the A406 itself). By the way, much of Cricklewood and Harlesden are relatively undeveloped, and there's a disused railway line that crosses through Gladstone Park, so part of the space is already there (albeit not exactly the line I have drawn). The line through Gladstone Park is far from disused - it just doesn't have any passenger services. It was at one point proposed to use it for Heathrow Connect. A semi-orbital service from St Pancras or a Goblin extension, via Cricklewood and out to the west might well be useful, especially at Olympic time. Public transport loses out on journey time if the journey involves more than one change. So the best orbital services go about a third of the way round, overlapping with other orbital services, and continue outward or inward at both ends of the orbital section. This maximises the number of journeys that can be done with one change. Colin McKenzie |
