Shepherd's Bush WLL station
Paul Terry wrote: In message , Dave Arquati writes Interestingly, the work seems to have uncovered what looks like the remains of an old platform on the northbound side, which I thought might be left over from the old Uxbridge Road station, but it's far too high for the trains. Was the WLL lowered significantly here in preparation for the West Cross Route and Holland Park Roundabout which it now passes underneath? Its possible the WLL was lowered - old pictures of the station show a very shallow cutting. But the WLL crosses the Central Line at this point, which is already rising towards the surface, so I shouldn't have thought there was much room to go down. Is the old platform immediately adjacent to Uxbridge Road? If so, it would probably be Uxbridge Road station. But 100 yards further north is the site of the original (1844) Shepherd's Bush station - it closed within a year, so it would be quite a find if any of that came to light! -- Paul Terry |
