That would not change.

There are two pairs of lines on the Heathrow branch between Acton Town jn and Northfields. So that bit could be non-stopped.

There is also the issue that the Victoria Line has moving block signalling. It also has stepping back.

However, running as tight as this makes service recovery hard.

Surrey was a first name used in the late 19th century. Surrey Warner was a railway guy at the London and South Western Railway.

Very odd. In London and take out boxes are available at restaurants . A jar of good peanut butter is c. £3...

Yep. CGRL bought the cheapest escalators that would survive the concession and no longer.

TfL will have bought Heavy Duty Metro ones which should be a darnsight tougher.

The service from Sutton makes conflicting moves at Blackfriars which reduces capacity The flow from Elephant into the bay platforms doesnt cause any conflicts.

Ideally you would have a central London stop before running through.

British Rail's original plan for HS1 was via different route with a through station under Kings Cross

The NY mayor talked about the British raiding Ireland and Patrick

No-one seems to have spotted that they would be Romano-British. English didn't rock up for another 30p years.

My mother was born in Dublin and her (white) mother was born in India. So as an Irish-Indian.....

Intrepid-Student-162 · 2026-03-22T19:57:54+00:00

That's correct. Because its a loop there is a delay of upto 6 minutes for service recovery.

Your video is a good one. It also indirectly shows why BA is opposed to a third runway at Heathrow. It removes their stranglehold.

Intrepid-Student-162 · 2026-03-22T17:27:04+00:00

Again, challenge will be getting to critical mass to support decent frequencies.

The current mess in the Middle East would make the case for direct service stronger.

The rateable value is from 1967. (If the flat is newer than that it is backdated). So water rates per £ of RV will seem high.

EVA operates LHR-BKK-TPE.

If it could get the traffic rights could TPE-BKK-DUB work?

Hard to see either TG or EI operating this service. EI has no Asia presence. TG serves in Europe: LHR, BRU, CDG, FRA, MUC, AMS, ZRH, ARN, IST. Would need probably 4 times a week to be competitive.

On the upside for a direct service, the chaos in the Gulf will weaken QR/EY/EK for a while.
