Overcrowding solution for XC

[mumrar]

(Please read footnote before continuing)

It's no secret that XC suffered from chronic overcrowding during the summer timetable this year on certain parts of their network. The refurbished HST sets aren't able to take up the strain, especially when there are major sporting events at stations such as Cardiff, Leicester, Derby and Nottingham.

An artists impression has been formulated of one possible avenue being explored by XC for promotional material should it be decided to go ahead.

Footnote: This is all completely made up, just to go with my photo. Sorry, but I put in a lot of effort, so I thought everyoe else could put effort in to read this

Your signature needs fixing.

Ahaha, that's a good idea!

Put them on the Birmingham to Stansted services,

 

[mumrar]

I think they should go on a special Leicester to Cardiff service via Gloucester then reverse to Bristol Temple Meads and through the tunnel after another reverse.

Glad you like, and thanks Justin for the sig reminder, the one image had to be removed due to a POTW vote

Nice 'shoppage! Wouldn't a suitably set up DBSO be a better plan than a second loco though?

You build us up! Then knock us down! evil!

 

[mumrar]

And here is another, maybe more popular solution for the problem of overcrowding.

I'm just going to tease you with a link though this time
