Which tube for earls court

The section to Kensington Olympia was reopened on 20 December but ran only when exhibitions were open at Olympia. An additional glass rotunda was built on top of the Warwick Court entrance in the s to house the station's operation room.

In , the Kensington Olympia service became a full-time operation, running regardless of whether an exhibition was open. In the s additional lifts for the mobility impaired were added from the District Line platforms to a new overbridge which was connected to the high level walkway which joins the two station entrances.

As of November , the station began undergoing further construction to repair the roof. From 17 December the scaffolding for the repaired roof has been removed and the platform restored to its original state.

The station is 'Grade II' listed as being of architectural and historical interest. At the National Railway Heritage Awards the reconstruction of the station's train shed roof gained a certificate of merit for the quality of the work carried out. Template:Railways around Earl's Court Although it is theoretically possible for a train to be routed from any one of Earl's Court's five adjacent District Line stations to any other, operations are currently simplified by limiting the number of operational routes as follows:.

Since the early s, the station name has been spelled with an apostrophe on the tube map although the name of the local area is generally spelled without. Prior to the s tube and rail maps show the station name without the apostrophe and on the station buildings the name has variously appeared with and without the apostrophe. The name of the local area has always been shown with an apostrophe on Ordnance Survey maps, and also by A-Z , but other mapmakers do not use one.

There is an acknowledged reason why the apostrophe is used for Earl's Court station but not for the nearby Barons Court. William Palliser developed the Barons Court estate. A book in the Society of Genealogists, annotated in pencil by R.

Burnet Morris who knew Sir William personally, provides a history of the area. As a result, unlike its neighbouring station, Earl's Court is written with an apostrophe.
