I’ve noticed this weekend that trains are entering the eastbound platform very slowly - certainly much slower than usual.
Does anyone have any idea why?

Could just be another case of a TSR.
I know the speed limit for EB entry is 20kph though.

Its always been a slow entry(even before 92TS & ATO)due the sharp double bend just before the station.

The control room team will know whether there is a TSR or if not they will arrange for it to be checked out by the signalling team (code selection or faulty Spot)

There's no TSR eastbound but there is a TSR1 westbound between Shepherd's Bush and White City

There’s a very sharp left hand bend as train leaves WB tunnel.

As we all know it, the caxton curve.
The TSR between SHB and WHC W/B is a TSR 1. It's the 'lowest of the low'. I believe a TSR1 is around 14-20kph? The rest are TSR3's which are around 33kph.
Even before the speed restrictions, there's a 25kph speed limit due to the curve just after the tunnel mouth. It's a 33-35kph speed limit after it's gone over the curve I believe, happy to be corrected. However this thread isn't for discussing TSRs as there's already a thread on that

They are going normal speed eastbound but slower westbound

They are going normal speed eastbound but slower westbound I’m confused now. You mention a TSR1, White City to Shepherd’s Bush, which is eastbound, but now say they are going slow westbound. ( I noticed the low speed whilst on the platform (on several occasions), and have not been westbound for a while. |
