Preview service starts tomorrow afternoon (perhaps)...

Thanks.

There are way too many obeli in the central area... in particular, the
lack of through trains between the Morden line and the Charing Cross
branch is represented by an obelus on the Charing Cross branch
stations, when it would be more useful to put it on the Morden line
stations, since about half of the people using the Morden branch need
to think about this but a tiny fraction of the people using, say, TCR
need to give a crap.

Or they should just go back to the old way of a black/white dashed line
indicating a limited service.

The whole thing is inconsistent anyway. They feel the need to tell us
that you may need to change if going from TCR to Morden, but do not
mention that you will definitely need to change if going from say
Turnham Green to Bayswater, or Olympia to Victoria.

The map in the link given does neither. They've got rid of the dotted
line at Kennington and also the double green line through Earls Court.

Is it true that neither Shepheds Bush nor White City Central Line
stations are wheelchair-accessible? How did Westfield get away with that?

Both were there many years before Westfield was built.

It is true. Neither is a new station, in spite of
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/projectsandschemes/10134.aspx
saying otherwise for Shepherd's Bush.

I find it more interesting that Wood Lane (wla/wln) has public toilets
from which service was withdrawn. At first the notices on the doors were
covered, while a RADAR key could give access. AFAIR, there is now a
regular LU lock and customers definitely get no service.

A few stations have individual ticket halls without ticket offices or
with permanently closed ticket offices. Wla is unusual in being built
with no ticket office; the only other similarly-deficient station I
recall is Regent's ParK. I assume a ticket office was scrapped in the
recent refurbishment.

Regents Park certainly had a ticket window when I last used it in the
1970s. The internal feel of the station had a toned down Leslie Green
feel to it. But, I am pretty sure it was not one of his. I always
thought Great Portland Street and Regents Park stations being so close
but disconnected to be a trifle odd. It is all down to history and
geography of course

There's an 'introduction' on the BBC web site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8620188.stm

Consists of their Transport Correspondent explaining what a 378 looks
like. *He makes it sound like they are exclusive to the ELL and have
not actually been in use on the Overground for months...

Story includes some political squabbling alleging that Boris has been
trying to claim the credit for opening the line. *Nothing new there
then.

Not a bad introduction for the uninitiated. *The BBC has done worse,
much worse.

Like trying to report the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, instead of
just reporting what the Israeli Foreign or Defence Ministries say? I
agree, disgraceful...

Or they could try reporting the facts.

All of them ?
