The posters up at the station said ‘July 2014‘ that it would be open, so it’s only five months late in coming, but the new entrance/exit at Hammersmith H&C/Circle Line station is now open. There are five standard sized gates, and two wide aisle gates, and is predominantly being used as an exit from the station, with the original gateline being used as entry only.
Actually, there’s now some work being done on the gateline at the original entrance – as they perhaps install a wide gate there too, so we won’t have a final count on the number of gates at the station until that work is done … who knows when?
