Posted by Fytton on Wed Mar 9 05:28:45 2005 Couple of welcome pieces of news from the Transport for London website.The Docklands Light Railway branch to London City Airport and North Woolwich is on schedule for a December 2005 opening. The "viaducts" (which are what you-all would call an el) are now complete and laying track, installing signalling and completing the stations are in progress. The White City area in west London is starting a reconstruction in connection with the building a large new shopping centre there; the work will include (re)installing a station on the Hammersmith & City line. This notable omission in the Underground network will there fore be rectified quite soon - making transfers between the H & C line and the Central line a possibility, and also providing access from the H & C line to the BBC TV headquarters, a major employment centre. At the moment the H & C line viaduct runs over the top of the BBC TV Centre without any means of alighting there. |
