Future Developments
Putney Bridge currently has a bay platform (platform 2) which can only accommodate C stock trains. The bay platform is in the middle of the eastbound and westbound tracks. Now, because the westbound track is on a curve, there is a 10 mph speed limit for Wimbledon bound trains. There are plans to switch the bay platform and westbound platform. The track running through the bay platform would be the new westbound track and the current westbound platform would be the new terminating platform.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or developments:
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
