I gather this opened today, with the Shepherds Bush to Shepherds Bush
Market renaming at the same time. I gather that completes the rail
openings in that area.

Anyone been?

They kept that quiet. I was confused when I saw all the tube maps at
various parts of the network with the station marked as open yesterday

If only the H&C had a decent frequency or speed

They intend to double it in the next couple of years when it becomes the
'Hammersmith and Circle'.

It gets referred to as "Circle and Hammersmith" on a number of the
automatic announcements already, and has been for some time.

I had a look during my visit. The lengths of the open and closed
sections are exactly right for this to be the case.

If I still had a blog, I'd note that after the opening of Wood Lane
and the unravelling of the Circle Line there'll be no changes to the
tube network for the foreseeable future*. And as far as I can tell,
there are no new stations or new lines of any kind due between the
opening of the current DLR extensions, ELL and Imperial Wharf (ca.
2011) and Crossrail (ca. 2017 if it happens). Have I got that right?

* Split of the Northern Line maybe, Bakerloo to Watford unlikely,
Bakerloo or Northern extensions south, double unlikely.

It depends on whether you count the Blackfriars work as being a new
station (the Tube station will be almost completely re-built) or just
an extension of the existing.

Cross river transit? Or has that been cancelled (and replaced by
scummy dangerous murder-buses)

Tweaks to the Olympia service

There's a few rebuildings, Euston Square/Warren Street connection?

What Northern line extensions could there be?

Kennington - Battersea was mooted by the developers of the power
station.

I think that counts as at least 'treble unlikely', though.

That's not tube ;-)

* Bakerloo to Watford Junction (will happen eventually, but not until
Victoria line upgrade will be complete)
* Bakerloo to Camberwell (highly unlikely, not even planning started)
* Metropolitan to Watford Junction (unlikely, unless there will be
sudden about face)
* Split of Northern (quite likely, can be done at any time even now)
* Northern to Battersea Power Station (castle in the sky)
* Replacement of Chesham shuttle with direct service (unlikely, unless
opinion of people in Amersham will be completely disregarded)
