If TfL take over Moorgate services will they replace the 717s?

Moorgate doesn't have tunnel space for runover. Brixton's extra tunnel space allows drivers to come in faster.

My point was about the "it's impossible because of w,x,y,z etc." negativity so why bother, while not all the issues can be solved (with the lack of overrun being the biggest), the rest is do-able but multiple issues need resolving. The point I was responding to was around "no point in improving approach control because stepping back would then be required to make use of the improved capability as well", in which case there is a good incentive to implement stepping back at that point

TfL operate most tube lines at more than double the current max NCL frequency but stepping up is only responsible for around 15-20% of that gap.

Thanks! They look quite good in the orange. Well much better than the full grey they're in currently.

A definite improvement on the desperately dull current livery, though to me it doesn't entirely suit the 717s as the orange recessed sliding doors make them look really old fashioned when compared to the 710s, and indeed less modern than say the SWT red 707s!

No different to the 378s in that regard!

Quickly knocked up a LO Livery on a 717 Diagram. Kind of Suits.

But then anything is more imaginative than Grey.

The Moorgate disaster proved that!
