According to the PDF on the TFL website (which just says "2003" and
is no
more specific than that), trains will run as:

.. from Acton Town - Hatton Cross - T4 - T5 and in reverse. and:
.. from Acton Town - Hatton Cross - T123 - T5 and in reverse.

So the 'loop' between T4 and T123 becomes redundant? And that if
you want
to go via tube between 123 and 4, you'llnow have to go via Hatton
Cross
instead!

Is there a map somewhere showing the new track layout? I've tried
googling
for it and found loads of info but no map.

B2003

Are they going to double the line from HX to T4 then?

No. As has been pointed out in this thread at least twice already, the
services will actually be
..- Hatton Cross - T123 - T5 and in reverse, and
..- Hatton Cross - T4 - T123 - HX as at present.

I would have thought HX - T4 - T5 - reverse to T123 would be
better.

Not a good idea to reverse a train on the way to T123, nor to fill it with
T5 arrivals before the T123 departures have got off. (Yes, I know this
happens at T4 at present, but T5 will be *much* bigger than T4.)
