Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Sat Oct 2 20:18:10 2010, in response to Green Party calls for nationwide protests against "Stuttgart 21" (Germany), posted by Olog-hai on Sat Oct 2 03:54:41 2010. It does seem curious that they want to take the new build over (-11m) the S-Bahn platforms (-19m) rather than under them (about -30m). There must be some nasty vertical alignment issues somewhere for them to want to cause so much disruption with shallow construction (one thing virtually no-one is mentioning is that the underground Staatsgalerie Stadtbahn station, which includes a flying junction, will have to be completely rebuilt).Then there are the design issues. Superficially, it doesn't exactly look very inspiring. It should probably win an award for bad green architecture. But more seriously, the eight long platforms don't seem to be a particularly good design for the inevitably high proportion of short regional trains with long dwell times, unless there is an intention to include non-platform tracks with crossovers to the platform tracks halfway along the platforms. |
