SHEPHERDS BUSH (CENTRAL LINE) STATION: From Wednesday 19 March until late August, no down escalator. Please take care and hold the handrail as you walk down the central staircase, which has 70 steps. This is while we carry out planned maintenance work on one escalator, to ensure its continued reliability. During this work an 'up' escalator service will be available at all times. To avoid the stairs use these alternative routes, especially if travelling with children or luggage: For eastbound journeys towards central London: use buses 31 or 228 from stop D in the bus station to Holland Park. For westbound journeys towards Ealing Broadway or West Ruislip: use bus 228 from stop A in the bus station to White City.
