Heathrow third runway to get the go ahead
"Roland Perry" wrote in message
In message , at 16:34:39 on Thu, 15 Jan 2009, Recliner remarked: I doubt that the current St P has enough domestic platforms (on either side) to be the London Terminus for the high speed link to the north. Also, are they long enough? Not enough of them, and they are approx 10 carriages long - is that sufficient? I would have thought new high speed trains would be longer than that (even the Pendos will soon be 11 cars long). It would be awkward if the Javelins were longer. The Class 395 trains are six cars long, but I don't know if they'll be running doubled up for some services. If so, I assume the Kent platforms can handle 12 trains. |
