Imperial Wharf
Work to build a brand new station in the south of Fulham could start
as early as June 2008 after a multi-million funding package to pay for
it looks likely to be agreed.
If Hammersmith & Fulham Council agrees the multi-million funding
package it will mean that Imperial Wharf Overground Station, which has
been talked about for nearly twenty years, can finally be built.
An H&F Council spokesman said: "It has been a long road to get here
but after 15 years there is finally light at the end of the tunnel for
Imperial Wharf Overground Station.
"Thanks to the collaboration of Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington &
Chelsea councils we are nearly at the stage when construction can
begin. We promised to work tirelessly to deliver this station and, if
cabinet agrees this funding package, our construction partners can get
on and start building this important station."

But unlike the NLL the West London Line never featured on the Tube map
prior to the TfL takeover.
Has pressure from TfL or the Mayor played any part in these
developments, or has it just been the hard slog of LB Hammersmith &
Fulham, assisted by LB Kensington & Chelsea, that has led to this new
station finally getting the go-ahead?

They did indeed, and so you did - nul point for the LB H&F spokesman
there. Me wonders how Mwmbwls might have phrased it...

The old road bridge is narrow enough to count as a tunnel, and the
ticket office is planned to be inside it.
I, also, apologise.
