Any feedback about passenger levels at Wood Lane and the various Shepherds
Bush stations (LU & LO) following the Westfield centre opening?


This weekend was packed, probably with the curious as there didn't
seem to be much actual purchasing except for v. crowded caffs. I
walked there on Sat and there was hi-vis everywhere but not overfull.
When it beds down it'll be interesting to know how the PT will fare
(no cinema or bowling yet, food court also not open).

My impression? Big awful version of any old high street.Little of
interest beyond the Same Old Same Old. Wood Lane looks good but odd
elevated footpath outside, that drops before the junction causing a
need for new ped crossing lights. That also leads to a car block back
to Wood Lane itself. Not clever. Good accessibility by buses but the
Wood lane side not completed (will this become a painful loop a la
Sainsbos Ladbroke Grove? Hope not.)

The outside is still grot green. Banksy, you're needed!
