West London Line - what recession?

From what I have read, there is little room for more traffic. In its present form, yes, although increasing linespeed, replacing the three-aspect signals with 4-aspect, reinstating the southbound loop at Olympia (as has already been mentioned), relaying the points at Olympia to allow higher-speed entry and exit to the loop (and ensuring any new loop is also so fitted) and extending the AC electrification to Shepherd's Bush (so that time need not be wasted stopped at North Pole to do the changeover) could all help to increase capacity. BTW, there are now no InterCity (or similar) trains on the line following the December 2008 timetable change when the Cross Country services to Brighton were withdrawn. And Eurostars no longer use the line to access their former (North Pole) depot. |
