Posted by Fytton on Fri Mar 18 06:13:12 2005, in response to Re: London news, posted by Rail Blue on Thu Mar 17 13:08:17 2005. The two routes out of London Bridge cited by Rail Blue (to Sydenham via Forest Hill and to Tulse Hill via Peckham Rye) each have a 6 tph offpeak service, so they are two of the most "metro-like" of Southern's services. Both are scheduled to be attached to the East London Line extension, thus gaining actual Underground trains. It is a bit unclear whether these will supplant the London Bridge services or supplement them. I'd guess that, if they survive, the Southern services will be reduced in frequency, since those lines surely don't justify more a 5-minute frequency of service. Maybe 4 tph from each to London Bridge and 8 tph from each to the ELL? Add another 8 tph from New Cross (not Gate!) to the ELL would provide 24 tph on the extended ELL.The ELL trains won't be roundabouts, though. The plan is for the South London Line ones to go to Clapham Junction and the Forest Hill line ones to go to Crystal Palace or West Croydon. |
