So in this picture, from PCC34, it turns out there's some kind of loop, is this meant for the gray line, and why would you guys make a connection from the Red Line to the Gray Line? I saw a code for that in the Red Line Junction XML

Question of the Gray Line
Re: Question of the Gray Line
Yes, the Grey line and the red line will have a track connection. That also exists in London between different lines, as a way to get maintenance trains on the line, and to exchange trains between lines when needed. It is obviously not an in-service connection (no passenger carrying trains).

Okay... That's weird..... but we don't have any london maintainence trains.... No offense. So it serves no use.Sjoerd wrote: ↑08 Jan 2024, 23:35 Yes, the Grey line and the red line will have a track connection.

If anything, i could've thought of an idea sooner or later.

Re: Question of the Gray Line
Not that the connection is redundant, i remember when two lines, the Jubilee Line and Metropolitan Line using tracks before the stupid automatic crap on Jubilee Line (no thanks to automatic ) ruined everything... Nowadays the trains no longer share tracks and also, Neadsen and Willesden Green no longer have trains stop there.Sjoerd wrote: ↑08 Jan 2024, 23:35 Yes, the Grey line and the red line will have a track connection.

Re: Question of the Gray Line
Nah. Such connectors can exist. We have one in LA too called the NRC (Non-Revenue Connector), a spur track connection between our A and C Lines.
Dude, us Americans literally use hi-railers. Good ol' all 'Murican Ford F150but we don't have any london maintainence trains.... No offense. So it serves no use.

Re: Question of the Gray Line
That track layout in the picture reminds me of the Northern Line Kennington Loop which is situated right after Kennington station (Charing Cross Branch). However there is a new branch off the Kennington Loop that now goes down to Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station but it's only accessible from the Charing Cross branch.Metro3472! wrote: ↑29 Dec 2023, 16:55So in this picture, from PCC34, it turns out there's some kind of loop, is this meant for the gray line, and why would you guys make a connection from the Red Line to the Gray Line?

Re: Question of the Gray Line
That's because Sjeord said in the private message that the route will be a circle and will end with 2 branches with one being the Jubilee Line styled branch.RomfordTransport296 wrote: ↑11 Jan 2024, 17:27 That track layout in the picture reminds me of the Northern Line Kennington Loop which is situated right after Kennington station (Charing Cross Branch).
