Jubilee Line at Charing Cross
"TheOneKEA" wrote in message om... (Boltar) wrote in message . com... (TheOneKEA) wrote in message . com... I have heard in many places that the Charing Cross Jubilee Line platforms are kept in operating condition because they offer a perfect spot to deposit passengers if there should be a problem on the Jubilee Line. In fact, I have heard that they have been used at times when the JLE had engineering issues that required some time to work out. I thought if that happened the passengers were just turfed off at Green Park? They probably are, but when you have a Jubilee train full of passengers between Green Park and Westminster and something happens on the JLE, Charing Cross is the perfect place to deposit them. When they drilled the new tunnels from Green Park to Westminster and beyond, did they modify the track layout at Green Park so that trains coming from Westminster can go to Charing Cross too? I very much doubt it, as this would require another set of tunnel bores to connect the new tunnel to the Charring Cross tunnels (sort of forming a triangle like the one near Rickmansworth on the Met). I doubt it would have been worth the cost. Daniel. B2003 Brad |
