Actually, it's best if all main lines passed through London, and all lines interchanged with each other and with all tube lines, but not too many lines interchanging at the same station. That way a terrorist strike on a single station causes minimal disruption. A single London Central station has no benefits and huge disbenefits. Planning rail routes and services around terrorism? Does it really happen that frequently? *Attacks* don't happen that frequently. There have been periods where disruption due to phoned-in (fake) bomb threats happened on a very, *very* regular basis. Phoning in fake bomb threats for multiple stations doesn't seem much harder than phoning in for one. It isn't, and that certainly used to happen as well - but the fact remains that funnelling all routes through a single station makes causing disruption easier. -- Stephen Fire bad. Tree pretty. |
