Transport Plans for the London Area - Central or Londonwide The bus station, rather than the railway station, is the preferred terminus because bus arrivals in Peckham outnumber rail by 20:1 and transfer from East-West bus to CRT is seen as important traffic.

Her Majesty's Railway Inspectorate might insist that any trains using the Thames Tunnel must have end doors for detrainment, in which case the Networkers would have to be custom-built. www.geocities.com /Athens/Acropolis/7069/tpftla_c.html   (12829 words)
