New Station: Wood Lane, Hammersmith & City Line

Another new station has opened on the London Underground this weekend. Wood Lane is a station on the Hammersmith & City Line and has been paid for by the builders of the Westfield London shopping mall which is next door to the site.

The line has run on this alignment since it opened in 1864 (ie 144 years ago) and because of the historical nature of the station, it had to be built in and around the historic brick viaduct.
