Posted by Fytton on Fri Mar 18 05:41:07 2005, in response to Re: London news, posted by Rail Blue on Thu Mar 17 13:08:17 2005. "Plus, did some SE trains ever loop back rather than go to Dartford?""Yes. AFAIK, they still do." Current timetable has half-hourly Cannon Street to Cannon Street out via Sidcup and back via Woolwich Arsenal and vice versa; these trains go straight from Crayford to Slade Green or vice versa. [Altogether, the offpeak frequencies are 8 tph on the main line through Woolwich and 4 tph each on the Bexleyheath and Sidcup lines.] I'm not sure if this is done because there isn't enough business at Dartford to justify running 16 tph there, or because there isn't enough terminal capacity at Dartford station for it to be physically possible to turn 12 tph there (4 tph continue beyond Dartford). I hate to admit it, but I've never ridden the Dartford lines.... |
