h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Wood Lane station is really easy to see. It can only be seen from the eastbound central line trains. As you leave White City and enter the first underground tunnel,face the direction of travel and look out of the windows on your left.You can then see the platform and exit stairs of Wood Lane station.As you leave Wood Lane, the train makes a very brief appearance aboveground before going underground again and not emerging aboveground until Stratford.

Here's a weird thing. Because of the tunnel arrangements around Wood Lane, the trains at White City, just up the road, end up on the wrong platforms. On LU track the trains travel on the left, but at Wood Lane trains arrive on the right hand platform. There is a bridge between Wood Lane and East Acton where the lines cross back over.

Thanks a lot for that piece of helpful info - I am going to add it into my entry if thats ok with you.

Thanks again,

If you're talking to me orangerocket then thats fine, feel free to use the info as you like. If you weren't talking to me, then I've just embarrassed myself!

I was talking to you Tube Boy! Thanks!!

Have another look at the entry: A536140 because I've updated and improved it using GuideML (thought you'd be impressed)!!

I'm having a day on the tube on Saturday to do some more research.
