Would that "one additional train in service off peak" be a Circle or H&C?

[metman]

H&C probably, but they tend to swap around during the day don't they!

How much longer til the big new shopping centre opens?

Any idea where the station is being built. Is it on that bridge over Wood Lane itself?

Yes. Is on the opposite side of Wood Lane to the BBC TVC with the entrance EB side of the railway.

It will be staffed, but have no ticket office.

It's east of Wood Lane, with the station building to the north of the line. I think the platforms begin immediately east of the new purple bridge.

Yes it's directly above where the Central line crosses under the H&C viaduct which is just as well. The Central covered ways there were understrength for heavy vehicle access above.

Some of the spur tunnels leading to the old Wood Lane Depot have been infilled.

Revised H&C MF off-peak and Saturday daytime requires 15 trains instead of 14 in WTT 22 and Sundays 12 instead of 11. (The fewer trains on Sundays is because of no Barking services, apart from starts and stablers).

Circle Line allocation in WTT 22 unchanged at 7 trains per circle.

With an extra train on the H&C that will allow a longer turnround at Hammersmith. Maybe there might be a train in the platform next time, an empty station quite often greets the unwary punter!

The station is supposed to open on October 6th, I think the shopping centre is a few weeks behind.

So much for the extended turnround at Hammersmith, as usual no train in the platform. Well, one left as I arrived then a wait as usual for the next one and the the t/op had problems with the set, a quick visit to the rear and off we went!

I'm liking the new timetable so far.

They've taken 5 minutes off our grubs and tacked it onto the end so they don't have to keep paying us OT though - at least we can sometimes finish on time now I suppose!

I've noticed most of the meal reliefs seem to be longer, some of them by quite a bit. No more missed pickups due to short meal reliefs!
