Probably still not impossible, but it would involve some complex timetabling - especially since timings of both Windsor and stopping services are already heavily constrained by the four level crossings on the two-track part of the line between Barnes and Richmond. Future Airtrack requirements from Waterloo to Heathrow also need to factored into the calculations. There also the question of acess to the Latchmere and Ludgate routes at CJ. |

In message , John Rowland writes In 2000 or so, track utilisation on the Windsor lines was very low (peak service of 6tph on each of the 4 tracks between Barnes and Waterloo, IIRC) and I don't think much has changed since. Ah, okay, no problem then.

Really, you want both directions on the slows; that means either a new viaduct or a flat junction. Given that there's only 6 tph on each track, the flat junction doesn't seem to bad. Probably still not impossible, but it would involve some complex timetabling - especially since timings of both Windsor and stopping services are already heavily constrained by the four level crossings on the two-track part of the line between Barnes and Richmond. Ah yes, that. tom -- DO NOT WANT! |
