I heard the new turnback will be in use from 11 January 2014. How will it be used and operated?
Since the October timetable came in before the updated turnback at Liverpool was operational, isn't the benefit of the new turnback somewhat lost?Similarly an ignorant letter writer to the local paper was APPALLED with the new crossing loop in the middle of nowhere at Clarendon, which he condemned as a complete waste as money.
Perhaps the benefit is lost for now, but as it was non operational when the timetable came into use, nothing is lost or gained. We will have to wait for the next update to see the full benefit of the new works.
With the greatest respect, have a look at plate 73c of his 1916 report (two copies are still available to borrow in the Fisher Library at USyd), eat your hat & cry at what could have been in the city underground.
The improvements at Liverpool are well done, and should have been done by Dr Bradfield in the 20s and 30s, except that Bradfield wasn't a timetable person.
Actually January 13
