This should be built in the next few years, though due to a stupid HSE ruling it will involve a walk rather than just going up or down stairs. Yes, as I understand it there is a curve (or was it a slope?) on the Central Line at that point, and the HSE won't let them build a station there1 |

. uk... Yes, as I understand it there is a curve (or was it a slope?) on the Central Line at that point, and the HSE won't let them build a station there1 It's sillier than that. The Central Line is fine at Park Royal, but the Picc is sloping, and the HSE won't allow the existing sloping platforms on the Picc to be replaced by new equally sloping platforms nearer to the Central Line. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. 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 |

It is a surreal worldview that says slopes must be provided for folk who can't manage steps, but considers that able-bodied people can't manage slopes. -- http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p9683904.html (210 001 under cover at Stratford Depot in 1983) |
