Will it have the greatest gradient? I believe from what I've been told about
the proposed route that it will go from low level to near Bishopsgate above
Liverpool St very quickly and this will be the steepest part of the network.

IIRC, the steepest gradient will be 1 in 30, and this will be the steepest
part of the passenger network, all though there are a huge number of other
points which are equally steep. There is a steeper line in Ealing Depot.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

The steepest part of the passenger network you say - but which
passenger network, the underground network or the National Rail
network? The East London Line will after all be a National Rail style
franchise operation as opposed to an LUL line.

OOI, what is the gradient from Blackfriars to City Thameslink?

Good point. I meant the LU passenger network.

What just south of east finchley and just south of arnos
grove ? They're pretty steep too.

They are sustained descents (ISTR the one south of East Finchley is 1 in 50)
, but there are short descents of 1 in 30 on leaving the majority of deep
tube stations built from the Central Line on. This is to accelerate trains
leaving stations while keeping the electric bill down.

Thanks, I was thinking it might be steeper than the Bank at Ealing Common
which would mean changing the location of parking brake tests.

The dlr from Bank to Shadwell includes a section of 1 in 15

Personally I find this to be very offensive. But then
if nobody take exception to it and decides a prick is ripe to be blown
up, who am I to complain?
