"New station at Shepherd's Bush opening November 2007". So it says on
the Rail Services in West London map in the new edition of the West
London Yellow Pages, which has just arrived here.


You would have to suspect then, that although looking all but complete now,
the opening will be postponed so that it can be the star of the show for the
Overground opening PR ceremony, as predicted in previous threads...

Another Ken photo-opportunity.



As a frequent if irregular user of the NLL and WLL then I say great,
bring it on.

Even if all that happens is that the seat cushions get cleaned and the
train floors get mopped then it'll be a great improvement.

Anyway it's not yet apparent that the opening of Shepherd's Bush will
be timed to coincide with the launch of TfL's London Overground. On
the one hand then yes, it would make for great publicity and a big-
bang beginning to the new regime, but on the other hand I was at
Shepherd's Bush not so long ago and there was still a significant
amount of work going on at street level. If the entrance to the
station isn't ready then the station isn't ready. I will be up that
way again soon and will report back on the latest situation on the
ground.
