I see Charing Cross jubilee platforms got a nice workout in the latest Bond

anything else these days other than filming?


It appeared to have been renamed Temple for the filming, but it
certainly wasn't District or Circle line stock being used.


Temple and also Embankment, IIRC. Train was a Jubbly line '96 tube stock
(as befits a station, albeit a closed one, on the Jubilee line). The
supposedly sardines rush-hour scene(s) on the train seemed a bit, well,
spacious!

The peak hours only exit from Charing Cross mainline station on
Northumberland Avenue briefly doubled for a street entrance to
Embankment station in one shot.

It would only need to be 1 train every 10 minutes or so to Charing X to be
useful and for every one of those you turn a westbound one from stratford
early.

Where?

I dunno. I'm sure there are some crossovers at westminster or london bridge.

They manage a far more complex service on other lines.

True; but I'm not arguing it's impossible. I'm arguing it would lead to
a worse service overall.

Not if done properly. Mind you , this is LU so thats a big ask.

You dunno then.

The line when extended was not designed to have an operative branch (for
public services) off to Charing Cross.

The Jubilee line needs all the capacity it can get to the east.

The crossovers allow it.

From london bridge sure, from Stanmore? No so sure.

I'm guessing that the busiest section is between Green Park and Canary
Wharf.

Ah yes, on line 3. St Paul's/St-Paul (line 1) is almost another.

Also, they have a station called Invalides and we have one called West Ham.

When the JLE originally opened it was operated as a shuttle service from
Stratford for the first six months or so, steadily extended towards the
centre, with Westminster the last link in the chain.

The line when extended was not designed to have an operative branch (for
public services) off to Charing Cross.

The crossovers allow it.

Do they allow it easily with a through service running at the same time? Or
are they just still there for end of day turning and engineer works?

The Jubilee line needs all the capacity it can get to the east.

From london bridge sure, from Stanmore? No so sure.

Traffic on it's certainly quite high between Green Park and Westminster and
reducing the frequency on that link in the chain would be chaotic.

There used to be an Arsenal. There's also a George V, even if the King
bit is implicit. Saint-Paul is an analogue, if not identical. Blanche is
close to White City.
