Thus the switch-man can call trains into the junction station at uniformintervals and so avoid the checking or stopping oftrains by signals on the main line. Owing to the growth of interchange traffic betweenthe Piccadilly and District lines, an escalator was in-stalled at Earls Court station, the point of interchange, capable of carrying 10, 800 people in each direction perhour. This escalator has proved so satisfactory thatothers will soon be installed at other stations to assistthe elevators and in some cases to supersede them.Escalators are being installed at Oxford Circus, Char-ing Cross, Paddington and Baker Street, and proposalsare now forward for several others, particularly at in-terchange stations. Several elevators on the system have been fitted witha new electrical device whereby the closing of the ele-. Rapid Transit Progress in London—Recent Type of Center-Door Car for Metropolitan and District Lines vator gate operates the necessary starting mechanism.This eliminates considerable waste time, and at a busystation like Piccadilly Circus, where there are eightelevators, the new device will permit three additionaltrips per hour. INTER-OPERATION WITH STEAM LINES The extension of the Bakerloo line from EdgwareRoad to Paddington (Praed Street) has been completedin connection with escalators to join the Bakerloo plat-forms with the station of the Great Western Railway.This extension will be continued through to connectwith the London & North Western Railway at QueensPark with running powers over the latter railwaystracks to Watford 15 miles from Euston station. Thisoperation of city cars into the suburbs rather than theopposite policy is all the more interesting in view of theearly electrification of the steam line.
