TRANSIT took note of two very interesting blog postings detailing West Ashfield “station” on the District Line of the London Underground. Apparently, London Underground staff invited a number of these bloggers and other media representatives to visit West Ashfield, and their postings inspired a lot of interest.

This was “a day ahead of schedule” (from one perspective), as compared to a long-awaited and long delayed service (from another perspective).
