Posted by David Fairthorne on Mon Nov 1 18:24:56 2004, in response to Re: London's five-year plan, posted by Fytton on Mon Nov 1 07:32:28 2004. Of the 4 tph off-peak Thameslink service to Brighton, two are all-stations Haywards Heath-Brighton.Thanks for the correction, Fytton. That helps my argument, which is as follows: Some people from the Brighton line want London Bridge and some want Thameslink. So split the 4 tph service between Thameslink (2 tph) and London Bridge terminus (2 tph). Run the same services all day on both routes. On the London Bridge service use 12 car trains when necessary. Disadvantages: 1. each service would be less frequent, 2. some trains would take the slower route, and 3. people really wanting to get from London Bridge to Thameslink would have to use the underground. The big advantages would be the avoidance of conflicting movements over flat junctions in the London Bridge (high level) bottleneck area and the avoidance of the single-track connection from London Bridge to Blackfriars. |
