Will LU take them over eventually? I thought something had been said in Modern Railways about the remaining alignment (net of any incursions by Crossrail or Thameslink works) was being considered as potential stabling sidings for LUL use. I might be imagining it though! I don't think you are, though I don't think I've ever read or heard anything solid about it. From a layman's point of view it'd seems like a decent location for some sidings. Given the value of land in the area, it's a decent location for pretty much anything but sidings. [...] I disagree - this is a two-track width railway bed in a cutting next to an operational two-track railway, and the cutting is surrounded by buildings already. I'm not trying to suggest that there couldn't be various clever ways of fitting in some development into this space, but it's a rather constrained linear location (/locations) which is hardly ideal for development. [...] There's a disused bay platform at Liverpool Street behind shutters, so there can't be much need for extra track in the area.. AIUI the issue w.r.t. the new S-stock trains is that they're going to be too long for several of the present stabling sidings that exist on the sub-surface railway. I'm not sure if the bay platform at Liverpool Street would be workable, and I rather doubt that it alone would satisfy the apparent need. |
