Shepherd's Bush WLL

Who is Mr Brown There was some lack of communication between the developers and Network Rail - you could say liaison was less than optimum So is this an "Albert and the Lion Case" where no one is really to blame or has someone got to be summonsed. 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." Surely the issue is how to evacuate the platform based on the number of passengers using the Shopping Centre and hence the station - short trains unless plentiful will surely make crowding on the platform worse. And if there are more short trains how will the freight traffic using the WLL fit in? As for a derogation - listen - isn't that gurgling sound I hear the sound of the HSE choking over their collective Cornflakes. Whoever is responsible for this - either singly or jointly should be made to pay up for putting it right. If nothing else, it will as Voltaire put it act "pour encourager les autres" |
