Posted by David Fairthorne on Wed Sep 13 15:41:06 2006, in response to Re: London Overground, posted by Rail Blue on Thu Sep 7 08:22:10 2006. "For historical reasons there's already too much choice of rail routes in south London generally"Much of which is easily solveable if you apply some simple rules. The SRA Route Utilisation Strategy, which was mainly concerned with the fast services, and has apparently been dropped, proposed the following suburban routes, each of which would have had just two tph, running all day. Victoria to London Bridge (South London Line) Victoria to London Bridge (via Crystal Palace) Victoria to Caterham (via Crystal Palace) Victoria to Caterham (via Norbury) Victoria to Epsom Downs (via Norbury) Victoria to Dorking (via Hackbridge) (one tph continuing to Horsham) London Bridge to Epsom (via Norbury) London Bridge to Beckenham Junction (via Crystal Palace) London Bridge to West Croydon (via Sydenham) London Bridge to Tattenham Corner (via Sydenham) The idea was to bring the peak hour services up to the same frequency as the off-peak services. Currently some peak services are worse than off-peak. |
