Posted by David Fairthorne on Tue Mar 15 12:46:37 2005, in response to Re: London news, posted by Fytton on Tue Mar 15 07:05:25 2005. the flat junction at Metropolitan JunctionI don't think that would be a limiting factor, because you can run many more tph between stations than stopping at stations. Blackfriars could provide a limited amount of extra terminal capacity to supplement Charing Cross and Cannon Street, provided there were not too many trains through London Bridge. Each through platform at London Bridge can only handle from about 15 to 20 tph, depending on the time of day and rolling stock. But there is another complication: because Cannon Street trains can use only three platforms at London Bridge, some Cannon Street trains return empty to Grove Park depot via Blackfriars sidings, where they reverse. That one-track link to Blackfriars should probably be two-tracked. |
