Posted by Fytton on Mon Dec 18 10:26:01 2006, in response to Re: Thameslink 2020 inches closer, posted by Max Roberts on Fri Dec 15 12:27:55 2006. 'For example, at High Street Kensington, the only interchange would be from the North Circle trains to the Circle Line, so in theory it would be still be an easy interchange if it were two-level, as long as the lower level was the destination platform.'I don't understand that argument. If we are trying to minimize building new tracks and switches, we are not talking about builsing platforms one above the other at High St Ken. We are talking about island platforms versus side platforms at one-level stations. Even if all the passengers transferring are tranferring the same way across the platform, you still need an island. Side platforms imply people having to go up or down to an overpass or underpass, and then back down or up again on the other side. |
