Thanks, I had already planned to go and have a look at it next week.
It's
been ages in construction.



Please let us know if Greenford Station still has posters heralding
the imminent start of 24 hours tube sevice. They were there on
the platforms last time I was at Greenford.

It did on Sunday, 8th November, 2015.
I was surprised to see the completed work.
I used the lift, upwards. I found it painfully slow: both the wait for
it to arrive and the travel time. Geoff Marshall's video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxScXvX1Dv4
shows the capacity plate: 11 persons and 825kg. It also shows a blue
wheelchair icon - step free to train. I just checked 0343 222 1234 and
was told it is step free to platform (information from the Station
Supervisor). This is consistent with the other step free Central Line
stations: Stratford; Woodford; Hainault; and Epping.
Incidentally, there is an unusual lift from the routeway to the Ticket
Hall at Hainault, avoiding about 5 steps. Passengers are not enclosed in
a moving box, have to hold a movement button, and open the doors
manually.
