| Most who have looked at this closely now accept that there will be no stop at Turnham Green until the signal upgrade which, under current circumstances, isn't likely to happen in the first half of this century. Nobody disputes fatalities can and do happen at other stations and it is likely that measures to reduce them at Turnham Green will only serve to displace rather than prevent tragedy. However, the question that remains unanswered is why should we tolerate such a high level of incidents at Turnham Green (which possibly has the worst record on the network). A speed limit implemented in a way that would not impact the timetable would reduce the 'attraction' of the station for these desperate people. I'm struggling to understand why this isn't at least worth investigation. |
