As of last week the move to use the bay road has now been removed the existing arrangements will be used with the bay road removed totally. The points will be plain lined still some point between now and the end of next year but I don't think this will happen until the last D stock has gone. Going way off topic the disused eastbound platform at South Kensington is going to be brought back into use by the end of 2017

Going way off topic the disused eastbound platform at South Kensington is going to be brought back into use by the end of 2017 yeah means empty unused could be used as adverting space or extend platform to hold new step free lift once the points are remnoved but i think waste of space if becomes abandoned and disused - i suggest LU to put a some sort of a nice usage like extra exits and new features in

South Ken escalators are nearly life expired and need overhaul but the exit to the District and Circle wouldnt be able to cope with the heavy demand. So they have been instructed to bring the disused platform into use once more. The platform would get extended and a new fire exit to the east end of the station installed all to be done for the end of 2017
