That would be quite some upgrade required 19tph over the 2 track Ouse viaduct/ Balcombe tunnel section? Perhaps ATO with a future Govia franchise struggling with the introduction of No Driver Operation? Or a BML2/ HS4 scheme?
The interventions suggested in the Route Study for after CP5 are:
- ETCS ATO
- London Victoria
Connect Platform 8 to Sussex side, Brighton Reversible, bi-directional Up Fast
- Windmill Bridge Jn
Fast Lines grade separation & 6th track to East Croydon
- East Croydon
Additional platforms
- Stoats Nest Jn
Grade separation
- Redhill (not required if none of the London Victoria to Haywards Heath services run via Redhill)
Additional infrastructure, remodel country end
- Reigate (not required if none of the London Victoria to Haywards Heath services run via Redhill)
12-car bay platform and Platform 2
- Gatwick Airport
Additional/reconfigured crossovers
- Haywards Heath
Additional crossovers
- Keymer Jn/Wivelsfield
Additional up platform & grade separation
- Hove
Upgrade turnback siding
