But why was it not picked up by an inspector or supervisor? Irrespective of
what the drawings may say or imply, any fool would spot that it didn't look
right within a few seconds as James did when he passed through on the train.

Any contractor building it would build it to the drawing they had
been given, even if they can see that it is wrong. Their reasoning
is that it is a lucrative daywork to put it right.

This wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

The amazing thing is that it wasn't picked up at any stage
pre-construction. Once drawings are status "A", they just get built,
as they've been approved for construction as-is.

The H&C one needs a rename, mind.

According to various sources, it is to be renamed "Shepherds Bush
Market" (apostrophes optional g).

What is the new H&C station ( at Wood Lane) going to be called?

The new names for the two H&C stations were confirmed in a TfL press release
back in November 2006.

"London Underground (LU) today announced that the new station currently
under construction on the Hammersmith & City line at the White City
development will be known as Wood Lane when it opens in 2008[1].
"The existing Shepherd's Bush (Hammersmith & City) station will be renamed
Shepherd's Bush Market at the same time."

All listed in the new GBPTT available on the Network Rail website:

Eastfields has this footnote: This station may open during the
currency of this timetable, please see local publicity for further
details.

Imperial Wharf and Shepherds Bush have this one: It is unknown at the
time of going to press, when this
station will open. For further details please contact National Rail
Enquiries 08457-484950 or see local
publicity.

I did hear a rumour that Shepherds Bush will open on Dec 10th 2007 but
not sure if this is actually going to happen!

Kings Cross Thameslink closed at close of service on Saturday 8th December
2007 and St.Pancras Internationa (Low Level) opened following morning

On the DLR (Stratford branch) Langdon Park station opened believed to be on
the Saturday 8th December (definetly open on the Sunday as I was there)

Is it going to be a true interchange, or an outerchange? Will there be
a behind-the-gateline route from WLL to Central platforms?

No, its an outerchange. We discussed this a while ago [on uk.t.l],

Oh yes, so we did, apologies.

I guess an underground paid side interchange to the WLL station would
have been difficult to engineer, in view of the footbridge access to the
eastmost platform?

I have to confess i haven't a clue how the Central line platforms and
associated gubbins are laid out, so no idea!

Given that Shepherds Bush (Central Line) is to close for eight months
from 2 February 2008, perhaps the opening of the Overground Station
will not happen until at least October when the Central Line station
reopens.

Any interchange possibilities (which are considerable for anyone
travelling from west / north west London to South London) which the
opening of Shepherds Bush (London Overground) would have brought will
have to wait until October anyway.

Finchley Road & Frognal.

Why do you think that is confusing ?

It is no different to main town name + suffix, i.e. Gatepost, and
Gatepost West.

& Frognal can be thought of as a suffix.

Of interest, since the new timetable started, is that the Southern
services that I get fairly regularly from Harrow & Wealdstone to
Clapham Junction are stopping at the Shepherd's Bush platform, but not
opening the doors. At least they are southbound, not travelled on a
northbound train yet to see if they do as well.
