Of the three above terminus types, and the flying junction terminus, I much prefer the non-passenger loop for offering both high capacity, and flexible or reliable headways. However, where loop construction is not suitable (e.g narrow sites), I think that the flying junction terminus would be most suitable.

Actually, you probably have a point, at least outdoors. I'm thinking of a redesign of London Charing X...

Strangely, given the proven advantages of non-passenger loops, I know of none that have been built since the 1920s in heavy metro systems! ( Can someone correct me on this?)

Just shows we should build by the Belgian and Madrid methods.
