    GWR Waterloo and Euston

    Yes of course, I just meant there shouldn‘t be too much work, if any on the ground to do. I’m not commenting further now.

    GWR Waterloo and Euston

    I was responding to the person hoping 36 minutes was not a final path. I’m not that good at posting including quotes. 1716790776 Yep and as they’re slightly different it shouldn’t be too hard to get the restriction removed.

    GWR Waterloo and Euston

    13.5 minutes from Euston - Acton ML isn’t bad. But agreed coming the other way is slow as coming the other way, pathing through WL Junction is trickier. I wouldn’t think these are the final path though.

    Stations justifying an additional platform if space permitted

    Stonebridge Park and Harrow and Wealdstone could do with one on the down DC, so that in the event of late running on the LUL, through trains aren’t held up while the terminators are tipping out.
