The URL is: http://nrekb.com/downloads/connections.pdf Originally the opening date for these two stations was February 2005 (can't remember where I got that from). "Summer" isn't too bad though. Driving along the West Cross Route last weekend, I did notice that construction appears to have started in earnest at the White City development (at last). The slip roads from the A3220 had been in situ and waiting for traffic for quite a while now! By the time these stations are opened, they will probably be governed by TfL in terms of branding (Overground Network) and fares (Tube paper single tickets already valid between West Brompton & Willesden Jcn). -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

I would love to have been at the meeting where the manager told the graphic artist to write ATOC in huge letters all over the map. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

Am I alone in thinking that the opening of Shepherd's Bush WLL station would be a good time to rename one or other of the LUL stations? It's confusing enough having two stations with the same name that don't provide an interchange (see also Bethnal Green and Edgware Road); but if only one of them provides an interchange with a third line it could start to cause problems. An H&C station at White City would make things even more confusing. Jonn |

... Am I alone in thinking that the opening of Shepherd's Bush WLL station would be a good time to rename one or other of the LUL stations? I agree. It would be cheaper to rename the H&C station, because it appears on enamel signs at fewer stations than the Central one, and I think some of those signs still refer to the Met and so need to be altered anyway. Shepherds Bush Market would be a possible name, if a bit long. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

Shepherds Bush Market would be a possible name, if a bit long. The problem with that name is that it could equally well apply to Goldhawk Road station, as the market is next to the H&C viaduct for the whole distance between the two stations. Shepherd's Bush West? Alternatively, wasn't there a plan to rename the Central Line station as Shepherd's Bush Green? In fact, I'm sure I've seen that name on a line diagram, at Greenford IIRC. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

I think plans are afoot to rename the H&C station as Shepherd's Bush West once the WLL station opens with its Central line interchange. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
