New London Stations....

Shepherds Bush won't be opening any time soon. Seems the platforms
are too narrow to allow for all the shoppers in the Westfield centre
and therefore looks like it might have to be demolished and rebuilt
before opening!
So what's their reason for not opening the other platform? South Greenford
operated as a one-way station for a year or two after one of the platforms
went bungee jumping, and the Sudbury Picc stations were both one-way for a
while during platform rebuilding. Not ideal, but better than a shut
station... unless they are concerned that a one-way station on the maps for
six months will bring a lot more embarrassing publicity than a shut station,
and feigning competence is more important than helping the public get
around.
