No mention is made of how long the H&CR station will be - seems
to me that making it seven (or eight!) cars instead of six would
be useful if/when the new SSL stock comes on the scene (this is
dependent on how easily Hammersmith station can be modified).
Even if the trains will never be longer, having a platform
bigger than your train makes the T/Op's life much less stressful.


I suppose this is a replacement for White City station, which
closed following a fire in 1959.


No. The White City station that closed following a fire in 1959
was on the Central Line. The new station is on the Hammersmith and
City - so it is in no way a replacement.

Clive believes differently:

So do I, as I remember White City H&C (then Metropolitan) disappearing
from the Tube maps around 1960. Compare
