Meridian Water rail scheme

[VMH2537]

Enfield Council has recently developed plans for a passing loop to be installed at Ponders End creating a 4tph service from Meridian Water. If everything goes to plan, the scheme should be completed by the end of March 2024. Looks interesting!

Interesting idea. Having northbound trains leaving from either platform though could be a bit of a pain, especially if trains get switched at the last minute. I suppose an idea could be to give the existing London-bound platform 1 a second face so that all local trains north and south can at least serve the same island.

Reports are now in the Ponders End dynamic loop has been cancelled in light of current inflation prices.
