understand it this is all going to be going live 'Summer 2005'.
Network maps in tube stations already show Imperial Wharf and
Shepherds
Bush WLL stations as '* opening summer 2005'.
Hmmm.
The WLL station will be long enough for four-car trains, due to the
constraints of the signalling. I also wonder how much of a constraint
there will be on pathing freights and 377/Xs around the 313s stopping
at the station.
No mention is made of how long the H&CR station will be - seems to me
that making it seven (or eight!) cars instead of six would be useful
if/when the new SSL stock comes on the scene (this is dependent on how
easily Hammersmith station can be modified). Even if the trains will
never be longer, having a platform bigger than your train makes the
T/Op's life much less stressful.
