The new Thamelink Brent Cross West opens this coming Sunday, how practical will it be to walk between here and Brent Cross shopping centre - and between this station and Brent Cross Northern line station?
Also, will the two Brent Cross stations be an OSI (out of station interchange)?

According to Google Maps, it will take approximately 15 minutes to walk to the shopping centre and 20 minutes to walk to the tube station, with the latter being a distance of approximately 1 mile. It seems unlikely to me there will be an OSI between the stations as there is not one between Hendon and Hendon Central stations which are just over half the distance apart. Anyone wishing to change between Thameslink and London Underground is presumably advised to do so at West Hampstead, Kentish Town or King's Cross St Pancras.

Thanks Chris.
Possibly catching one or several buses will shorten the interchange time, but alas catching buses breaks OSI fares - although in what to my eyes looks like 'double standards' catching a train (of any ownership) as part of a multi-modal journey does not break the bus / tram Hopper fares.
Anyway, as you suggest, this wont be an OSI and wont be a viable interchange.
