Trains between London Charing Cross and Tonbridge will stop additionally at Bromley South? They do not go that way.
I thought Victoria had just been resignalled with the very latest digital technology … ? And now melt down … Progress ?
Never a day goes by without a major signal failure yet stations like London Victoria are shut for days each year for ‘signal upgrades’!
Maybe spend less on that HS2 vanity project get the the rest of the network fixed?
But Jack, we were repeatedly assured that money for HS2 could not be reallocated to any other railway projects. It could only be made available for HS2, even though it was all taxpayer’s money!
