Class 376 deployment questions
(MIG) wrote in message . com...
1) The extension of all (most?) of the relevant platforms took place,
requiring Charing Cross to be closed for three solid weeks at one
point, and resulting in the disappearance of platform 7 at London
Bridge.
Westcombe Park stayed a 10-car platform station - not entirely sure
why, but one end of the station was at one point deemed some kind of
nature reserve, the other is the Blackwall Tunnel approach road.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the 12-car scheme was
abandoned because of falling passenger numbers. That could be rubbish,
though.
