FURTHER PROTECTION FOR TRAINS ENTERING TERMINAL STATIONS

Following the completion of the l a t e s t s e r i e s of 'Sand Drag' t e s t s at Upminster Depot, London Transport have announced that £ 1 m i l l i o n i s to be spent on providing more permanent s a f e t y precautions f o r t r a i n s e n t e r i n g t e r m i n a l s t a t i o n s .

Since Moorgate, as an i n t e r i m measure, te r m i n a l s t a t i o n ends have been protected by:- l ) ensuring t h a t a t r a i n t r a v e l l i n g i n t o a t e r m i n a l dead-end platform stops at the l a s t (or next to l a s t ) s i g n a l before proceeding i n t o the platforr:i„ 2 ) the i n s t a l l a t i o n of 10 raop.h, speed r e s t r i c t i o n signs at the approach to the platform ( s ) concerned. 3 ) I n a d d i t i o n to the f i x e d red l i g h t t h a t has always been i n p o s i t i o n , two fvirther red l i g h t s and a f i x e d t r a i n s t o p i n the upright p o s i t i o n have been i n s t a l l e d , where p o s s i b l e (space permitting) these have been lo c a t e d as f a r away from the stops as p o s s i b l e , to give a maximum safe over run» Some s i d i n g s liave a l s o been t r e a t e d s i m i l a r l y .

The i n t e r i m measures (so f a r c o s t i n g £ 3 0 0 , 0 0 0 ) a f t e r Moorgate causes delay to the t r a i n s e r v i c e , i n that a l l t r a i n s have to stop at the l a s t (or next to l a s t ) s i g n a l f o r k or 15 seconds (according to the l o c a t i o n ) and then enter the s t a t i o n at a reduced speed.

Included i n the £ 1 m i l l i o n to be spent, are f i v e f e a t u r e s which, a t the s e l e c t e d s i t e s , w i l l allow the f a s t e s t run i n t o a dead end t e r m i n a l s t a t i o n i n complete s a f e t y . The s t a t i o n s s e l e c t e d i n the scheme are Aldwych ( s i n g l e p l a t f o r m ) , C o c k f o s t e r s ( 3 p l a t f o r m s ) , E a l i n g Broadway C e n t r a l Line ( 2 p l a t f o r m s ) , Edgware ( 3 p l a t f o r m s ) , High Barnet ( 3 p l a t f o r m s ) , M i l l H i l l E a s t ( s i n g l e p l atform), Ongar ( s i n g l e p l a t f o r m ) , Etanraore ( 2 platforms) and West R u i s l i p ( 2 p l a t f o r m s ) . A l l s t a t i o n s quoted are served by tube s i z e t r a i n s only. At other t e r m i n a l platforms served only by tube t r a i n s , adequate over run f a c i l i t i e s e x i s t , thus making these s t a t i o n s exempt from the scheme (Queens Park, Elephant & C a s t l e , Morden, Epping, K a i n a u l t , Heathrow C e n t r a l , B r i x t o n and Walthamstow),

For s u r f a c e stock t r a i n s e n t e r i n g dead end t e r m i n a l s t a t i o n s , s i m i l a r measures (estimated cost £2 m i l l i o n ) are being planned, but f u r t h e r t e s t s w i l l have to be made before the f i n a l plans are made. London Transport are a l s o d i s c u s s i n g with B r i t i s h R a i l proposed s a f e t y measures where L.T. t r a i n s use B.R, t r a c k s and platforms at t e r m i n a l s t a t i o n s (Richmond, Wimbledon and Watford J u n c t i o n ) ,

Included i n the 'tube s t a t i o n ' scheme are (not n e c e s s a r i l y w i l l a l l apply at each s t a t i o n ; t h i s w i l l vary according to the s i t e and l o c a l c o n d i t i o n s ) : -1 ) A p r o g r e s s i v e r e d u c t i o n of the speed of an approaching t r a i n

( r a t h e r than one long stop at the l a s t s i g n a l ) 2 ) The prevention of the a c c e l l e r a t i o n of a t r a i n which has a l r e a d y

FURTHER ENGINEERING JORK AT KILDURN

The f i n a l stages of the r e c o n s t r u c t i o n of bridges M R I 6 and ^iR17 at K i l b u r n was c a r r i e d out on Sundays i l t h and l 8 t h June 1 9 7 8 , n e c e s s i x a t i n g both northbound L„T, t r a c k s being out of u«e, and s i n g l e l i n o working by northbound Bakerloo t r a i n s over the southbound l i n e , as described i n UN 1 8 5 , was implemented. Although the work i s by no means f i n i s h e d , no long engineer's possessions should be needed i n the fut'ijre f o r the work to be completed. To show more c l e a r l y the road d i v e r s i o n s i n the area, a diagram i s included on page 5 O 8 .

Reversing time i n Neasden depot was reduced from 3 0 minutes to g e n e r a l l y 10 minutes, thus u t i l i s i n g l e s s r o l l i n g stock, and using l e s s room i n Neasden depot, TRAIN SERVICES - Bakerloo Line

S i m i l a r arrangements wei'e made, i n that a I 5 minute s e r v i c e was provided between Baker S t r e e t and Stanmore, and two t r a i n s every 1 5 minutes between Baker S t r e e t and Queens Park, thus g i v i n g the c e n t r a l area i t s normal 5 minute Sunday frequency. Northbound Stanmcre passengers were detrained at West Hampstead i n t o another t r a i n w a i t i n g i n the southbound platform to go north. The t r a i n then proceeded 'wrong d i r e c t i o n ' to north of V7illesden Green stopping at K i l b u r n and l / i l l e s d e n Green s t a t i o n s , and then regained i t s normal route. Southbound t r a i n s ran v i a the southbound Metropolitan t r a c k from south of Wembley Park to north of F i n c h l e y Road, where the normal route wns regained v i a the F i n c h l e y Road loop. As the Bakerloo s e r v i c e s t a r t s l a t e r and f i n i s h e s e a r l i e r than the Metropolitan L i n e on Sundays, some ^ - c a r Metropolitan t r a i n s were run between Wembley Park and Baker S t r e e t before O8OO and a f t e r 2 3 0 0 . ( 8 - c a r t r a i n s cannot r e v e r s e i n West Hampstead s i d i n g because of i t s r e s t r i c t e d lengtho) For moat of the day, an e x c e l l e n t layover of 2 6 mir^utes was allowed at Stanmoi'e, to allow f o r any l a t e running on the s i n g l e l i n e to be made up southbound.

GLASGOW SUBWAY PROGRESS - P a r t 1 D.J.Carson

I t i s now a w e l l known f a c t -tfliat the Glasgovr Subway suddenly c l o s e d on 2 l s t May 1 9 7 7 , a week e a r l i e r than planned. By 2 9 t h May, the Greater Glasgow P.T.E. had introduced three bus routes f o r the duration of the Underground Modernisation works. They run a t 2 0 minute i n t e r v a l s and a r e : -Route 1 0 0 - A l l S t a t i o n s (Outer C i r c l e ) - Journey time approx. 1 hour Route 1 0 1 - A l l S t a t i o n s ( I n n e r C i r c l e ) -Journey time approx. 1 hour Route 1 0 2 - Govan Cross and P a r t i c k Cross v i a Clyde Tunnel
