"New station at Shepherd's Bush opening November 2007". So it says on
the Rail Services in West London map in the new edition of the West
London Yellow Pages, which has just arrived here.

Maybe they have actually got it right this time. No sign on the map of
Imperial Wharf.

You would have to suspect then, that although looking all but complete now,
the opening will be postponed so that it can be the star of the show for the
Overground opening PR ceremony, as predicted in previous threads...

As a frequent if irregular user of the NLL and WLL then I say great,
bring it on.

Even if all that happens is that the seat cushions get cleaned and the
train floors get mopped then it'll be a great improvement.

Anyway it's not yet apparent that the opening of Shepherd's Bush will
be timed to coincide with the launch of TfL's London Overground. On
the one hand then yes, it would make for great publicity and a big-
bang beginning to the new regime, but on the other hand I was at
Shepherd's Bush not so long ago and there was still a significant
amount of work going on at street level. If the entrance to the
station isn't ready then the station isn't ready. I will be up that
way again soon and will report back on the latest situation on the
ground.

I saw yet another post in a forum sugesting that November 11 is intended for
the opening date, asserting that it would be branded Overground from the off
because it had no existing signage. Which is odd because I distinctly
remember the Silverlink style signs. Did you get the chance for another look
at the site?

I went for a look a couple of weeks ago. The platforms signs have
Silverlink swooshes on them. I couldn't get that close to the main
building, but it has a giant set of rail double arrows in the window
above the door (possibly etched on the glass).

I'm far from convinced that the Yellow Pages is an authoritative guide
for such matters!
