Curious Tube map on BBC story

The rearrangement around Paddingtion is for Crossrail which appears in 2016: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/downloads/...t-onthemap.pdf And also includes the West London Transit system, which brings the total number of stations in Acton to 8 (North, South, East, West, Central, Town, Vale, and just plain "Acton"). Not bad, considering it's about a quarter of the size of Portsmouth (rough guess by playing with a map and a ruler), which has 4 .... Also, I know we're getting the Olympics but there looks like a HUGE amount of rail track is to be added east of the Metrollops. Some of it'll be over old routes, I suppose, but that which is proposed around Ilford and Barking looks likely to cause some major disturbance whether it goes on stilts or cut 'n cover. The "transit" schemes were possibly going to be light rail but the latest consultation documents show them as bus routes with fairly high levels of segregation. Therefore no need for tunnels or stilts. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
