East London Line extention gradient
Will it have the greatest gradient? I believe from what I've been told about
the proposed route that it will go from low level to near Bishopsgate above Liverpool St very quickly and this will be the steepest part of the network. |

I believe from what I've been told about the proposed route that it will go from low level to near Bishopsgate above Liverpool St very quickly and this will be the steepest part of the network. IIRC, the steepest gradient will be 1 in 30, and this will be the steepest part of the passenger network, all though there are a huge number of other points which are equally steep. There is a steeper line in Ealing Depot. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

The East London Line will after all be a National Rail style franchise operation as opposed to an LUL line. |

But then if nobody take exception to it and decides a prick is ripe to be blown up, who am I to complain? -- Clive |

Good point. I meant the LU passenger network.

oups.com... Good point. I meant the LU passenger network. What just south of east finchley and just south of arnos grove ? They're pretty steep too. They are sustained descents (ISTR the one south of East Finchley is 1 in 50) , but there are short descents of 1 in 30 on leaving the majority of deep tube stations built from the Central Line on. This is to accelerate trains leaving stations while keeping the electric bill down. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

Why are you only complaining about it now? Oh, and for what it's worth (nothing, probably), I don't find it at all offensive, just mildly amusing. -- Steve Fitzgerald has now left the building.
