Or the Croydon Area Resignalling Scheme...

Big block of text...will bullet point this bad boy:

1. "about implementing disruptive infrastructure improvements in the Croydon area in order to provide long term benefits to rail services."

2. "Topics relevant to this particular consultation include the impact of the scheme, in broad terms, on the local community with issues such as over-platform development at East Croydon, station entrances and changes to the local road system."

3. ...Signals don't like tunnels or the wet..."A consequence of the direct route of the Brighton Main Line at its southern end is there are a number of tunnels. Major engineering work is planned for Balcombe, Patcham and Clayton tunnels. This involves not only a multi-million pound cost but also a closure of the southern end of the Brighton Main Line for nine days in February 2019. "

4. ...Its not just rail disruption..."Nowhere will this be more apparent than Windmill Bridge itself which is a road-over-rail bridge that currently spans the five tracks present at that location. "

5. "Windmill Bridge forms part of Lower Addiscombe Road which itself is part of the busy A222. Whilst not a TfL road, its closure would mean more traffic on the A232 (Addiscombe Road) which is run by TfL. Furthermore, the Addiscombe Road is a major bus route onto which four of the busier routes serving areas to the east of Croydon converge."

6. ...Norwood Junction realisation... "The plan now is to have six tracks through Norwood Junction with four platform faces at the station. The station would be rebuilt so the dingy subway between the platforms will be filled in and new overbridges built. This in turn creates an opportunity to make the station step-free which will be welcomed by many locals as well as Croydon Council and TfL.

If Norwood Junction station becomes step free, almost all London Overground stations south of Surrey Quays will be step free."

7. ...update to track layout plans in Selhurst and Norwood Junction...

"On current timescales it looks like the Thameslink Programme will be complete and running a full timetable around the end of 2020. Passengers will then have three years of a relatively stable and reliable train service before the next prolonged phase of disruption.

If all goes to plan, by around 2028/9 CARS should be delivering tangible benefits although it will not be fully complete before the early 2030s."
