Northern Line - again!
"Dave" wrote in message ... nmtop40 writes If you split into two lines then the obvious split is Edgware-Charing X branch, Barnet-Bank Branch because that would mean there would be no need for the trains to cross at Camden Town. In fact, the Bank branch route actually runs to the *west* of the Charing X route after leaving Camden Town - so following your logic, it should be EdgwareBank and BarnetCharing X. However, it's a moot point as the trains don't need to 'cross' at Camden Town - at least not in the sense that I suspect you are thinking of. There are non-conflicting routes available which means that trains do not have to cross 'on the flat'. Have a look at Tubeprune's diagram; http://www.trainweb.org/tubeprune/Ca...wn-lct5-10.gif Trains do have to 'cross' at present as both City and Charing X trains go to Egdware and High Barnet/Mill Hill East. Splitting the line into Edgware via City and High Barnet via Charing X would solve this problem. |
