And also what proportion of Brighton's residents ... clog up the M23 and the horrendously inadequate western half of the M25 whenever they want to go to Birmingham, Liverpool, or Manchester.Point well taken. And you should also consider residents of anywhere on or near the Brighton line, including south London. With sufficient thought, very good connections to Liverpool and Manchester can be provided at Rugby. I am not really keen on your idea, but a single service from Brighton to Birmingham, with good connections at Rugby, seems preferable to your other plan, which included 1 tph from Brighton to Aberystwyth (not much of a "conurbation"!). scrapping the Gatwick Express or having a daytime goods embargo across East Croydon The Gatwick Express makes poor use of the line, but of course the British Airports Authority wants to keep it. aligning the ... Cross Country train ... with the slots for the South London Line You could do that to provide two slots per hour, which would be reasonable for Brighton to Birmingham. On the other hand the South London Line is a historical relic, and it could be diverted to Victoria East, or preferably discontinued. |
