AIUI the logic of keeping the through service was based on the GLA and TFL's own planning in 2 respects. The first was that Sutton residents were being charged the Crossrail Precept and then told they, who would probably never benefit from Crossrail would would loose cross London services. The...

I used to use this regularly between Wimbledon and Sutton. It lost out to the slower 164 bus which was more frequent and has level access. So the first need is level access to all the Wimbledon Loop stations. Sutton Council wanted to preserve cross London travel which the GLA and TFL all...

As a someone who works south of Heathrow I think that extending the Elizabeth line to either Staines or Feltham combined with diverting the Waterloo-Weybridge via Staines to Woking would help. Then if all SWR trains called at Woking it would be a useful link. the timetable for the branch is very...

I suggested diverting the Waterloo Virginia Water Chertsey Weybridge service to platform 3 at Woking because it uses a grade separated junction and central terminal platform. The local issue is ULEZ with the airport entirely in ULEZ and lots of the workforce living in Surrey and Berkshire...

A simple option would be 2 TPH to Staines and interchange with 2 TPH service to chertsey which should be diverted to Woking

Just a question so I don't get told off. Would it make sense to have a western interchange station at Oldfield Rd with 4 platforms west of the western part of Ordsall Lane Junction and 4 track throughout to the eastern junction so trains from Salford Crescent carry on to Victoria on segregated...

How about Canary Wahrf with 3 same named stations and a labrynthine route between them. I used Eleiazeth Line and wanted to get the DLR to Greenwich and got lost.

I was advocating the 5 platform interchange station and not rebuilding railway lines. It is 600 m between the Frimley and NDL alongside the SW Main Line so about 400 m walk and the platform. It could include access to Frimley Green and Farnborough Town and looks cheaper than the proposed Keogh...

Isn't this is the same people who were running Wokingham for the last 20 years who never pushed for any improvements in that time. Opportunities for more trains to stop at Winnersh Triangle Park and Ride were rejected in favour of developing expensive bus based schemes. Perhaps the simplest...

Some relief to the Northern would come from upgrading the Wimbledon loop service on Thameslink to every 15 minutes. The current constraint is the 1/2 service is not attractive and misses out to more regular buses in Sutton and Merton. Its appreciated that their are limits to the number of core...

Raynes Park to West Hampstead is possible with a change at Wimbledon to Thameslink. Even TfL will ignore this if you pick the wrong time in the 1/2 hour. I used to need to travel from Wimbledon Chase to Elephant and Castle and of three routes Bus to Wimbledon, train to Waterloo and Tube to...

I didn't say it does make sense I said IF then it would make sense. I don't get it

The option would make sense if there is through running for services from South West and South Wales onto HS2 at Birmingham who's journeys would be quicker.

Turn it into a loop with cross platform interchange between east and west bound for Reading line and Heathrow interchange and save £500m on WRATH.

So which town/district has the most stations with its name outside central London I vote for Acton with 7. That's Mainline (GWR/Elizabeth), North, East, West (all Central line) Central and South (both London Overground) and Town(District /Piccadilly lines).
