Piccadilly line reduced service was was Travelcards on Heathrow Express/Connect during LU closure
[Acton-ealing shuttle]
I think someone has underestimated the timing and pathing issues here. As all trains will need to reverse at Acton - that's all Heathrows, Rayners Lane and the Ealing Shuttle via one (?) turnback siding [1] between the Picc Line tracks I think a 20 minute frequency is pretty good going! The working arrangements are going to have to be pretty slick to handle all the movements without huge train jams developing on the approaches to Acton from the west. [1] happy to be corrected by our resident train drivers if I've got this wrong. I can't find my track plan. http://www.simonclarke.org/lul/maps/pic_strip.gif shows 3... |
