Where and at what time are the most simultaneous Train departures
Traveling from Charing Cross to Clapham Junction on Friday evening, I was pleased to see that there was a 22:09 and 22:10 departure - no waiting time (it was 22:08). Then, as I traveled to Waterloo East the closeness of the departure times made we wonder what would be the most trains that could (number of paths) and would (timetabling) leave at the same time... Entering Waterloo from the overbridge, the next three departures were the THREE 22:20 departures to Woking, Reading and Salisbury. Wow, I thought, can there be four? Yep, (unbelievably - I love life's serendipitous happenings), as I exited Clapham Junction, I turned around to look at the departure board, and whilst not the very next trains, there there were the FOUR 22:38 departures, to Chichester, Windsor & Eton, Sutton, and Watford Junction. Shame there were not five, but I have just remembered that I reminded myself to check departures for Waterloo and Victoria which are shown separately at the bottom of the board (next departures only). And yes, there is a 22:38 to Victoria, so that makes FIVE! So are there SIX? Over to you... Ken |
