The extra two lines running in parallel say between Leytonstone & Liverpool Street could be the 1st stage and 2nd stage could be to increase it say to Tottenham Court Road.
Yes, I would like to know what you guys have got in mind to deal with the commuting bottleneck on the Central Line between Leytonstone to Liverpool St. Once the Westfield and Olympic site is complete in Stratford there surely will be an extra few hundred thousand people in the area both coming in and going out. Now I can't even imagine how that's going to be handled until Crossrail arrives which is another 7 years from now!?!? So what's the deal are there going to be extra buses ... what?
@coolshit28 Transport for London are currently upgrading the Jubilee line. This is due for completion in Spring 2011 and they say it will increase capacity by 33 per cent while reducing journey times by about a fifth. The London Assembly continues to monitor progress on upgrading the Tube and has published a report on overcrowding on the network
@LondonAssembly Mm to be frank I don't think the Jubilee Line is the issue myself. Yes I have used it during peak hours and it can be very busy but essentially the Jubilee Line travels from South to North East London where as the Central Line travels from North East to Central/West London. So basically they're going through different areas. Surely the logical thing is for an extra two lines to be added in parallel to the Central Line between Leytonstone & Liverpool Street to double capacity?
