In fact, the ELX service is now intended to be added on top of what is already there, so that's 14tph through Forest Hill, each way, off peak. Your argument is still correct though. No need to guess which trains will be the more full, the ones that run the less frequently.ELL looks like a bit of a hopeless case in trying to find a role for it. Ironically, it is in a part of London which is already full of orbital routes. A cheap extension to Dalston would have put a few extra stations on the map, but in a part of London that is short of radial links. Throwing more money at the problem doesn't seem to help in any way. Its not even obvious how the DLR could absorb the line. Maybe a Chelsea-Hackney tube should be pushed higher up the list of priorities. Trouble is, finding a temporary southern destination, because the Victoria-Kings Cross section will be expensive, and you really don't want to discharge all of these passengers at Kings Cross, where it is already mayhem. |
