Just to clarify for others, we're talking about the ATOC London
Connections map rather than the TfL one. The URL is:

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).


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.
