Does anyone know what the gradient is between Bow Road and Campbell Road Junction? It seems to be one of the steepest on the network.

There is a thread about this on the forum from not too long ago, From watching the Video 125 film, I think? its 1 in 50.

Not quite as steap as the Lickey then. Is Bow Road to Campbell road the steepest on the network?

I think an exit road out of Ealing Common Depot is the steepest (1 in 28 IIRC) and an ex Jubilee man (who is a highly respected person in transport circles) told me that going down into the tunnel from Canning Town towards North Greenwich is 1 in 33. |

Yes it is; the gradient eases just inside the tunnel. Ealing Common - if you're talking around WL 116 A, I think it is aroundabout 1 in 26 and a good bit (almost 27), slightly steeper than 'Golfa Bank' but not as steep as the Darj. |
