Posted by David Fairthorne on Sat Jan 13 13:52:59 2007, in response to Re: West London Line & West Coast Main Line (Was: Cockfosters), posted by Rail Blue on Fri Jan 12 19:54:29 2007. the Slow Lines into Victoria aren't fullThat's true, so my remarks about the South London Line are irrelevant. But at some point (say Balham) your through train would have to cross over (at grade) to the fast tracks, which are at or near capacity in the peak hours. This raises a more serious objection to any long-distance service via the West London Line. Because not many people work in the West London Line area, such a service would not carry all that many passengers during peak hours. Therefore, in common with the Gatwick Express, it would not make good use of the available capacity of the Brighton line in the peak hours. |
