I was intrigued enough to pay a visit to the site today, and took some photos: http://londonconnections.blogspot.co...m-debacle.html Well done, a picture is worth a thousand words. My last view was from the window of a passing Silverlink service Always seems to me that there must be a better solution than all these lamp standards as well, they don't exactly help the passenger circulation. But in this case, perhaps they have too many? There seems to be a pole every few yards, given its only a four car platform... It's not obvious why the posts are there at all. Wouldn't fixing the lamps be to the wall solve the problem? This is from the Nov 9th edition of Rail Manager online: "Ian Brown believes full rectification of the problem is unlikely. There was some lack of communication between the developers and Network Rail – you could say liaison was less than optimum – and the northbound platform is something over a foot too narrow. The issue is what happens if a six-car train needs to be evacuated there in the future. I don’t think we can widen the platform, but we can move the lamp posts out of the way, and we may apply for a derogation from the relevant Railway Group Standard so that the station can open soon, for shorter trains at least." Anyone heard anything else on the issue? Paul |
