West London Line & West Coast Main Line (Was: Cockfosters) |

Posted by David Fairthorne on Thu Jan 11 13:00:10 2007, in response to Re: 93 NEW PHOTOS of the London Underground and National Rail (Was: Cockfosters), posted by Rail Blue on Tue Jan 9 12:40:32 2007. The most reasonable, fastest route in the case of Birmingham to Brighton (and for that matter, less important routes like Liverpool to Brighton and Manchester to Brighton) is via the WCML and WLL.I agree, but I don't think there would be a "business case" for any of these through routes. Most people will always use the well-known and established routes, even though they require crossing London by tube or by taxi. The number of people wanting to make these journeys is probably quite low, and most would not even be aware of the (necessarily infrequent) through services. Even on the existing West London Line service, few passengers stay on board at Clapham Junction. The Route Utilisation Strategy recommended discontinuing the through service, to allow more paths for Victoria services with higher ridership. |
