Hi all! Just finished a multiplayer session with some fellow crazy Australians, we were wondering about Twickenham platforms 1 & 2, and exactly how they might be used: (screenshot for anyone who doesn't own the sim) ![]() We only got up to 10am. A quick scan through the simplifier didn't show anything tabled into the bay platforms all day, assuming I searched correctly. I thought they may be for extra trains during major events, considering the stadium at Twickenham, but... there appears to be no way for down trains to get across? I suppose you could get empty sets from the Strawberry Hill depot to come around and then shunt back, but that wouldn't be much good for getting a lot of people to the stadium. If anyone is able to shed any light, I'd be grateful. Thanks! Log in to reply |

" said:Hi all!Hi, I live about ten miles from Twickenham, so I know this area well. Twickenham Platform 1 is disused, and has been for years. Platform is out of commission, has weeds growing from it and barriers around it, signalling is disconnected and I'm not sure if the DC is still energised. Platform 2, however, was previously disused and is now having its track relaid, PIS and signalling updated and the platform improved. It is not yet in commission, but the intention is for it to eventually be used for extras to Waterloo on matchdays. The pointwork has also been moved and relaid, as the extension of the platforms to accommodate 10-car trains as part of the 458/5 project meant that Platform 3 was extended over the pointwork. Hope this helps. Last edited: 04/08/2015 at 13:16 by GW43125 Log in to reply The following users said thank you: TimTamToe, kaiwhara, flabberdacks |
