Those look like off-peak tph, and you would probably want to increase them in the peak hours. Tube Prune says that the Metropolitan has 30 8 car tph and the District line has 30 6 car tph in the central area in peak hours.Bear in mind that the District uses two different types of 6 car trains. The ones to Edgware Rd (C Stock) are regular 6 car length. The ones via Tower Hill (D Stock) are longer, equivalent to 7 regular cars. I forget how long the District line stations are, but the Shenfield line has 8 car platforms and needs 8 car trains. D Stock has a far larger passenger capacity, but only half the number of seats (because Class 315 uses 3+2 seating). A Stock is somewhere in the middle. |
