| The TfL business case says it would be able to double the off-peak frequency of services on the Welwyn Garden City and Hertford branches – from 2 trains to 4 trains per hour. Unfortunately, due to other trains sharing the same tracks on the Welwyn Garden City line, the four trains an hour on that branch wouldn’t be evenly split to every 15 minutes.They estimate that it would cost around £47 million (inc contingency), and if Crews Hill were to get a major upgrade to service the planned housing, that would be in the region of £70 million. However, TfL warns that its investment in the additional stations could result in a reduction in spending elsewhere on the TfL network unless supported by external sources, such as land value capture from the additional housing that the rail upgrades could unlock.The main driver for the ambition to take on the line is to support additional housing developments along the rail corridor in North London. There’s the recently announced plan for 21,000 homes in Crews Hill, and they expect to be able to add another 12,000 to that along the railway. They also identify opportunities further north along the railway outside London. -- ???????? | |||
