Also the logical conclusion would be to terminate the line in the

Out of curiosity, what would be the problem for the HSE here? Is it
that
the different trains are sharing adjacent platforms? What about the
likes of Wimbledon where this already happens? What would be the
specific safety concerns?

Southbound trains occasionally terminate in the centre platforms at
east
finchley. These are the same platforms that the ELL would run into if
it was
extended there. PLus these tracks also lead to the northern lines
highgate
depot.


So what? Tube stock and mainline trains share the same metals between Queens
Park and Harrow don't they?
