A stock after closure of ELL

At a minimum the OHLE should be extended south to Shepherd's Bush, and at a maximum, it should be extended south to Kensington Olympia with the up platform road reinstated to provide four fully bidirectional roads through the station, releasing capacity in both directions to allow for additional passenger/freight usage (especially if Imperial Wharf station ever opens). Converting most of the NLL to AC would be a good idea. Both of those comments scream out common sense. I'm sure that I read somewhere (a couple of years ago) that there were plans to move the AC/DC changeover point further south (it may even have been at Shepherds Bush station) for practical reasons, BICBW. There have been plans to do this for some time, but the issue is the Hammersmith & City line - AIUI the signalling is not immunised, so the overhead can't be extended south until the H&C gets resignalled (which may not be until 2014). -- Dave Arquati www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
