Extending the OHLE to the new station and allowing the voltage change to occur during station duties a la Farringdon would be sensible IMO. From the draft Cross-London RUS: Assessment of Option 9 Description Move the AC/DC changeover on the WLL to Shepherds Bush station Issue The AC/DC changeover on the West London line is currently located between North Pole depot and Mitre Bridge Junction. This requires all electric services to stop in section to effect the changeover, costing around 2 minutes per train. The opportunity therefore exists to look at moving the changeover point to the planned station at Shepherds Bush. Recommendation The electrification engineer has advised that the cost of the alteration would be prohibitive, due to the need for extensive immunisation of the signalling equipment on the surrounding routes, including the lines operated by London Underground. However, it is understood that the Hammersmith & City line is due to be re-signalled in 2013, and this may give the opportunity for the issue to be revisited.
