Where will the S Stock be stored for the Hammersmith & City and Circle Lines? Will Hammersmith still be there Main Depot  Mind you thinking about the incidents with Graffiti at Barking, they might not store trains there anymore! |

S Stock maintenance will be concentrated on Neasden - Hammersmith will be reduced to carrying out running repairs only.
However, as the S Stock is longer than a C stock there will be some serious capacity issues at Hammersmith in the years to come - onc e they manage to get one in at all!
(To explain, the current berth is tight for a C stock, let alone anything longer.)

All the platforms and 24rd at Hammersmith will all have to be extended too if they expect to get anything over the points... New train crew accomodation to be demolished and quite possibly the booking office too - although that would probably fit in nicely with their planned job cuts ;-(

S Stock maintenance will be concentrated on Neasden - Hammersmith will be reduced to carrying out running repairs only. Don't forget Upminster & Ealing Common too. AIUI, Neasden will be the super dooper major S stock maintenance location - with Upminster & Ealing Common doing major slices of certain specialist work......and as you say, Hammersmith will end up as the poor relation. In terms of stabling locations for S stock; other than the more obvious places such as Rickmansworth, Neasden, Hammersmith, Ealing Common, Parsons Green, Barking & Upminster - the rest are anyone's guess. The future of places like triangle sidings, Edgware Road sidings, Farringdon sidings; and suggested new locations like South Kensington are similarly unknown. |
