East London Line update
John Rowland wrote: Oh! So the Selhurst depot is no longer part of the plan. I wonder why the change? Is this because the planned frequency has dropped from 18tph to 12tph, so the depot requirement has shrunk? TheOneKEA wrote: I also wonder at the closure of New Cross Depot - if Wapping and Rotherhithe are to remain open for Phase 1, New Cross is well suited for maintaining the stock that could be used for the 'short train' service for these two stations. In this way you could run a Dalston-New Cross service using the four-car 'short train' stock and the normal Dalston-Croydon services using normal-length trains that skip the two stations on either side of the tunnel. Andrew Shepherd of Parsons Brinckerhoff spoke of stabling sidings north of New Cross Gate and did not refer to a depot. Four coach trains will be the normal formation on the line. IIRC it is not only Rotherhithe and Wapping affected by short platforms - isn't Canada Water also short and on a gradient? |
