Two-Level Station Developed By British Railways
The development of Britain’s railways still goes ahead. Among the latest suggested improvements is the building of a two-level station on the site of the present Liverpool Street Station, London. The volume of traffic here during peak hours is greater than that of any other terminus in London. The suggestion for the two-level station is made in the report of the Railways (London Plan) Committee to the Minister of Transport. The same report also proposes the construction of automatic tube railways to reduce the street cartage'of goods. Railway electrification in the Midlands is developing, and recently Sir Cyril Hurcomb, chairman of the British Transport Commission, announced that the electrification of the Manchester-Sheffield-Wath lines about 330 single track miles, will be completed in December, 1952.
