Autumn next year.

Wouldn't they need to have voids for that to work?

There is a combination at the back end of the hour with the Alderley Edge, Norwich and Stoke where you'd need to do some reshuffling without 0.

Wolves New St is 10tph now. New St International is 9tph. New St to Coventry does not need to be 10tph, its 6tph now potentially 7tph once HS2 opens.

It got removed as the cash ran out, not because it was too difficult.

Its not closed. It has several trains booked into it, part of the issue is staffing it.

Decarbonising doesn't need what you are proposing, OLE does that. You haven't answered where the need is, what is lacking, where does the increase in capacity need to be and what is it for? Why does everywhere within 30 minutes need 6tph? A lot of London only just achieves that, Liverpool...

The question you have to answer is "why". What is it you are trying to provide and why? I don't see where the land is to 4 track the Cov corridor, nor out to Kings Norton, nor on the Camp Hill. Cross City will eventually go back to 6tph, how many more does it need to be, why does it need to be...

The tunnel can be just as bad and disorganised in my experience too. Can remember a couple of occasions where I have got to the barrier to check in and my departure time has suddenly moved two hours later on the French side, and neither end has amazing facilities.

If we were ever to go down this road, it would have to be the latter. Remember the railway works on half minute increments.

DB have just took Drax off GBRf?

But what is new here? Its been the case since the 60s with the addition of PSBs etc.

You don't have to wait for a timetable change to make alterations. You can add them whenever in the short term plan or put a longer term addition in that runs up to the timetable change if they are not substantial. Its the major recast and structural changes you do in December or May, normally...

Why would it make it more reliable, the nature of long distance services suggests that they get delayed getting to New St, not by it as a location. Landor St to Water Orton is nigh on 4 tracked anyway and as for the others, taking the cross city out of the station isn't actually going to free a...

You just put in a spot bid or STP them in.

There will be a contingency plan but no other signal box can control it, as you probably already knew.

Clearly I am misunderstanding what happened then, surely all the diagrams and rosters for that Sunday were already known? Why would they suddenly need to be rewritten?

Why would they be diagramming on the day?

It will be.

What/who are you replacing them with?
