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:
“Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
—Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
