"New station at Shepherd's Bush opening November 2007". So it says on
the Rail Services in West London map in the new edition of the West
London Yellow Pages, which has just arrived here.
Maybe they have actually got it right this time. No sign on the map of
Imperial Wharf.

You would have to suspect then, that although looking all but complete now,
the opening will be postponed so that it can be the star of the show for the
Overground opening PR ceremony, as predicted in previous threads...

I'm far from convinced that the Yellow Pages is an authoritative guide
for such matters!

As a frequent if irregular user of the NLL and WLL then I say great,
bring it on.

I saw yet another post in a forum sugesting that November 11 is intended for
the opening date, asserting that it would be branded Overground from the off
because it had no existing signage. Which is odd because I distinctly
remember the Silverlink style signs. Did you get the chance for another look
at the site?

I went for a look a couple of weeks ago. The platforms signs have
Silverlink swooshes on them. I couldn't get that close to the main
building, but it has a giant set of rail double arrows in the window
above the door (possibly etched on the glass).

That should be ok, isn't the convention TfL have decided upon that the NR
and 'Overground' logos will both be used outside the station if NR services
(Southern) also stop there? I remember someone posted a rather epic TfL
guide to signage a while back, can't find it at the moment though...

Yes and no. My interpretation is the NLR half will be 100%% National Rail
service, but the ELR half will work like a tube service that runs onto
National Rail tracks at the ends (which was what it was going to be
before the recent invention of Overground). Thus, as I understand it:
- All NLR stations are National Rail stations and have the arrows;
- ELR stations currently on the National Rail network retain their
arrows, because other TOCs may still stop;
- But: ELR stations not on the National Rail network (Surrey Quays to
Dalston Junction) won't have arrows.
