Ah, but which one has that most elusive and subjective quality, character? I'll wager it is the latter...

With the (re)opening of Shepherd's Bush station, the new overland station and now Wood Green...
...tube stations are fast becoming like buses.
You wait for ages, then three of them turn up at once.

The lack of indicators at Wood Lane is weird, given that they're being added to all refurbed stations (even on bits of line where the current signalling system is so rubbish they can't do anything)

It's quite funny to think that if the previous Wood Lane tube stations had remained open, we would have the same problem with the name Wood Lane as we now do with Shepherd's Bush.
Why does Hammersmith & Fulham insist on giving its tube stations the same names? It really confuses me...

The (now) shepherd's bush market station always was a grotty little place wasn't it? Nothing has changed since I moved East obviously..

I think the nadir of global recession is some time well in the future,dg.

Shepherds Bush Met Line station (as was) - character?
No, nasty little dive, in all. Along that stretch of line I suppose Hammersmith, Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park (Royal Oak, at a stretch) could maybe make a claim for a bit of character, but otherwise the stations on that bit of line are generally old, cheap, poky and fairly unpleasant

I really do like the way the railway viaduct is integrated into Wood Lane station.
How many passengers did you see, if I may ask? I wonder if it's already well-used.
dg writes: About the same (decent) number of passengers at both stations.

According to my TFL e-mail I get each evening, the lifts at Wood Lane are broken already.

There's still hard hatted-chaps buzzing around Wood Lane station, so it's not totally finished - handy since it only seems to serve as the BBC's own private Tube station right now (ironic since the site of its predecessor is now sandwiched in between TV Centre's car park and goods yard.)
