I
understand it this is all going to be going live 'Summer 2005'.
Network maps in tube stations already show Imperial Wharf and

Bush WLL stations as '* opening summer 2005'.


Hmmm.

The WLL station will be long enough for four-car trains, due to the
constraints of the signalling. I also wonder how much of a constraint
there will be on pathing freights and 377/Xs around the 313s stopping
at the station.


I think there's definitely 'somwthing being done' to the WLL, as it's
my understanding that when these new stations open the Silverlink WLL
shuttle is having a 50% service increase! (from 2 to 3 trains per
hour).

Mostly stuff I've picked up here, so I'm sure someone definitive will
be along soon...
