I was raeding ECML RUS final recommendations and read one item in the table of recommendations, which was the construction of a new station at the intersection of the ECML and the M25.
I thought GNER had killed of this idea over a decade ago, but apparently it's back on the table again.
Does anyone have any idea what this would actually constitute...especially give the intersection between the ECML and the M25 is the 600m long Potters Bar tunnel, and sits directly between Potters Bar and Hadley Wood, and is green belt land? And furthermore why have Network Rail resurrected this idea now? Obviously being the line closest to the junction of the A1 and M25 and soon due for a major increase in tph gives this idea some weight but is it really possible?
To me it'd make more sense to to build it on or near the site of the much-opposed planned freight terminal near Radlett on the MML which sits right on the M25 too...
