- W&C will be shut from April to October.

Mark Brader:
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 ...

Richard J.:
For the two mentions of Whitechapel above, read Shoreditch.

Urk, yes. Sorry about that.

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.

Strictly true, but the alternative would be to say "Served by Piccadilly
line trains early mornings and late evenings only", which could possibly
cause some confusion over what "only" referred to.

Yeah, "only" is like that. Moving it to after "trains" wouldn't help
either. However, there are other possibilities. "Piccadilly line
trains stop early mornings and late evenings only" would resolve the
ambiguity and would be shorter too. But then I suppose someone else
might find "stop" ambiguous! Perhaps the best option (with the present
graphic) is to take the existing wording and just delete "also".

It's clearer the way it's worded now.

The text is clear, but the graphic doesn't match it, which promotes
uncertainty.


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))?

Because in those last three cases there are other services readily
available, so the exact times don't matter too much.

Ah, got it.

While we're being picky, the Kennington note implies that there aren't
many off-peak trains at all on the Charing Cross branch ("most trains
run to/from Morden via the Bank branch"). It should say "most trains
to/from Morden run via the Bank branch".

I think the existing version is ambiguous rather than misleading, and
in this case the graphic helps clarify the intended reading. But yes,
Richard's wording would certainly be an improvement.
