Ebeneezers isnt that far?

Its a performance related bonus, if all the scorecards hit their targets (good luck with that ever happening), the full amount is paid out. I am assuming that RMT want that got rid off and the bonus amount just paid into salaries regardless of performance.

Oxford has the new down platform being built and also the opportunity to get the unit out the way as an ECS to the sidings.

Its not going to be Lancaster.

Bicester and Leamington are appalling places to terminate at from the south, Banbury would have legs if it was ever considered.

No chance of Bicester or Leamington.

People naturally gravitate to the fastest trains, so the WMT are out as they are all shacks to International. People are going to for example bin the 0812 to New St when the 0827 or 0830 gets there shortly after it.

Still would take the same time as you trundle along to keep the timetable.

Right, so it not really OOC to Brighton then.

Power supply is computer modelled by the principal route engineer (PRE)

How would you do that? There is no connection to the WLL

Struggled enough to get Bromsgrove Westerleigh to what it is now. Level crossings still causing the problems.

807s are more power hungry, also factor in that NR are now probably at a point where they don't want to get perilously close to the limits.

Thats a permanent solution, it looks like the viaducts sit on the existing road.

Its 100 HST from Bicester to Bletchley, id be amazed if that got dropped at this point when its effectively built. There is very little saving in it.

That has the potential to bork the timetable then as you could only run 168s and a 196 will be quicker off the blocks.

Its the other way around, TfL wouldn't want it themselves. They didnt want to pay for the proposed extension to Tring, which would have knackered the slow lines on the WCML.

I will be. They certainly aren't running past Oxford in the short term.

3 minute headways all over the place on the network. Its as low as 2 between Paddington and Reading in specific circumstances.

How are you getting them to Paddington? There isn't any room on the reliefs.
