I've mentioned many times that the trains from the Forest Hill direction are appallingly overcrowded. I can't see how it improves things to shorten them to fit the ELL and divert them to Hackney. Even if changing at Canada Water is not perceived as an extra burden, it doesn't resolve the issue of the short trains. Isn't the intention that these are extra trains south of New Cross Gate, and not replacing the existing service? That would be nice, but if they can fit more trains in, I wonder why they don't already, on such an overcrowded route. Probably not enough platforms/paths to deal with them at the various existing termini Seems likely. ISTR a TV documentary a few years ago stating that in the morning peak, London Bridge was operating at 138% of its theoretical capacity (in terms of train movements). |
