From disused railway land to railway land to be used to help make
improvements on the Metropolitan Line. Next week they're be writing
a
letter
to the papers saying that something should be done to improve the
same
line!

IMHO there's more to it than that. The site is currently disused;
all it was
ever used for was dumping of waste, mainly from Neasden Power
Station, all
of which came by rail.

The new proposal, if I understand things correctly, is for the site
to be
used for an engineers' depot to take on some of the functions
currently
performed by Ruislip. There is a big difference between a
rail-served ash
tip and a working depot with regular deliveries of materials by road.

Does anyone know exactly what LU and/or the Infracos are planning?
Is this
just a small development to serve North-West London, or a large
depot to
serve the needs of the whole system?

Is this depot being built by Metronet? IIRC TransPlant is owned by
TubeLines. One wonders if it is being built simply to allow Metronet
to have
their own facility and not to have to rely on TubeLines/Transplant.

Although we do have to consider the implications of the dumping of
old fuel

This electricity can be very harmfull as it leaks out of the shoes
into the ground

Is that why rubber soled shoes were invented?
