Are you sure Hatton Cross is cut-and-cover? It's quite deep, and there would
be no obvious reason to cover it.

I think the north end of Wapping might be open.

I think that, like many modern stations, it was built as an open box and
then roofed over. The running tunnels count as "T", but I suppose the
station itself is "C".

The tunnel from Hounslow West, Hatton Cross station and a short length of
tunnel to the west are cut and cover. The bored tube tunnels start a short
distance west of the station.

Thanks for all the helpful replies so far!

Mile End is open just above the w/b Central platform.... it's where the
pigeons get in....

I'm not sure it is very deep, is it? I recall just stairs down to the
platforms - not even an escalator.

Yes, there are 33 steps down to the platforms, which have flat ceilings and
are evidently cut-and-cover. The "obvious reason to cover it" is that the
exit from the bus station and the airport perimeter road are on top of it.

I've always wondered just who uses Hatton cross.

With the exception of staff working in the immediate area, anyone going to
the airport would surely use the two 'terminal' stations, and aside from an
under-occupied industrial estate there's not a lot in the area on the
non-airport side.

The only time in my life that I've used the station was as a pick-up point
on my world-record attempt, having just been around the Heathrow loop.

I used to use it when I lived in Ealing - I'd get the tube from
Northfields and get off at Hatton Cross, then get the H26 bus from there
to Bedfont Lakes where I work.

Presumably there are a lot of airline staff who use it, plus those picking
up buses to go to/from local hotels, etc. Doesn't the airport run a free
bus service from there?
