Is the bay too short? Can it not be lengthened.

Even if it is too short you'd think they'd use it for the occasional
engineering train. But its typical of LU to remove infrastructure that
their tealeaf readers can't see any use for in the next 5 minutes, just
like they took out boatloads of crossovers all over the network so now if
there's a stuff up on a line somewhere, an unreasonable amount of the line
has to be closed because there are few places to reverse trains.

I'm speculating, but you could terminate an extra three District Line
trains per hour at Mansion House and Tower Hill, freeing up 6 paths
from Aldgate East eastwards which could be used for a met service
through to somewhere and doubling the service through from Liverpool
Street to the east end.

You can't to terminate S stock at Mansion House so that will not be an

Tower Hill is already heavily used by up to 6 trains an hour. You run
the risk of problems with the timetable if you try and put too may more
in there. It's already the plan to extend more District line trains to
BKG anyway.

More districts aren't what's really needed - there are lots of them -
it's more somethings from Aldgate East to Liverpool Street.

Are you saying it's jus tnot possible, full stop? Could they not
have planned to re-instate the reversals at Whitechapel following the
crossrail work perhaps?

Where? They're filled the space once used for reversals for Crossrail. West
Ham has a through siding that can used, though, hasn't it?

Can they not open only select or a certain section of doors?

Not much help if the arse of the train is fouling the through line.
