Tattenham Corner branch does not have the housing density, so would it succeed as LRT? Probably not, and on-street running would make it subject to local traffic.Well, it's not a very good place for any segregated alignment really... Tattenham Corner branch does not have the housing density, so would it succeed as LRT? Probably not, and on-street running would make it subject to local traffic. But the fact remains that it doesn't actually go anywhere that the few people out there would want to go. Inner suburban via Selhurst and Norwood Junction need somewhere to turn round, is it being proposed to send them all to West Croydon? Obviously that wouldn't be good. If not, (and assuming that East Croydon cannot cope with large numbers of terminating trains) then trains need somewhere to turn round after visiting South Croydon to Purley, and Smitham and Caterham at least take them out of the way. Hmmmm. |
