North London Line
BH Williams wrote:
The 'freight arc' doesn't need to reach directly from Southampton to Felixstowe, but simply to allow access from either port to WCML and ECML. WCML from S'oton is already available via Reading West Curve, though a flyover here would be useful to avoid conflicts. I don't believe there is more than one train per day from S'oton to the ECML, and this traffic could easily pass via Birmingham/Derby. Felixstowe to the WCML/North could be served by gauge enhancements to the routes from the Haven Ports to Peterborough via Ely, and thence via Leicester/Nuneaton. There is other, non-container,traffic from West London to East London/East Anglia, but this could travel via the Tottenham and Hampstead, I believe. I believe as part of S106 agreements improvements to signaling, gauge enhancements, loop lengths are already COMMITED from Haven Ports to P'bro From P'bro to Nuneaton is supposed to being investigated, I believe. Perhaps Ken can help with a pot of money as it is almost certainly the cheapest way of creating extra space on North London Line(s) Jim Chisholm |
