Default Westfield email

TFL mailed me a "White City and Shepherd’s Bush travel update".
Westfield to open 30 Oct. That is not a full opening obviously as the
place still looks like a construction site, though the signs have gone
up in the last 2 weeks.

You'll appreciate that with 2 Ham&City and 1 Central stn and an
'Overground' plus buses that it'll have (wait for it) "world-class
transport links". A phrase to always choke on. Isn't it true to say
that in the world in general such a number of stations vastly exceeds
what the average punter has? Think Africa, hell, think most of England
outside London.

Opening date looks flexible:

Quote: Due for completion in October and November 2008, this major
investment has created jobs and brought transport regeneration that
will benefit the immediate local community and all of west London.
[speak not of the massive non-world class car park.] ... The project
also includes a 14-screen cinema (opening date to be confirmed)

Nastily the email shows tfl.gov.uk/westfield for more info but the
link is actually
http://www.c-f-1.com/d.aspx?e=removed&c=1&linkID=removed

which is a tracker and very spam-like.
