Posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat Aug 13 21:17:38 2005, in response to Re: SAS termini questions, posted by stephenk on Sat Aug 13 15:45:56 2005. "Maybe the MTA's (and TfL's) planners should be given all expenses paid trips to Paris, Madrid, Lille, and Munich. They'd learn a lot"Don't forget Moscow. Reversing 40tph with 160m long trains is bloody impressive! The theory of designing terminals is well understood. It's just not practiced by the TA planners, car designers and TA operations. If the TA designed and ran terminals that could handle 40 tph like Moscow, then they would not need the SAS. They are currently operating 24 (loc) + 26 (exp) = 50 tph on the Lex. Operating 40 tph on each track would increase service levels by 60%. Trains that now have leave load levels of 1.2 would have leave load levels of 0.72. |
