For which the notice for that is very awkwardly placed. Compare
Whitechapel, where the closure notice and hours notice are together
and both red. Not that the notice for Whitechapel is all that well
done either -- the way *it's* placed, it could just as well refer
to Bethnal Green. (Compare Cannon Street.)

Another thing that struck me is that the notice for Turnham Green
says that it's "also" served by Piccadilly Line trains at certain
times, yet it has a normal stud on the Piccadilly, so "also" seems
to be the wrong adverb.

Incidentally, what's the rationale for giving exact times when some
services or stations are open (Shoreditch, Woodford-Hainault,
Waterloo & City, etc.) but not others (Turnham Green (Piccadilly),
Uxbridge (Piccadilly), Whitechapel-Barking (H&C))?
