If you consider that curvature is less of a problem at low speed,
and that trains that will be stopping (i.e. all of them) will be
at low speed, then things get much easier. The bridge is the
primary issue, no doubt.
While I can imagine trains from Wycombe, Banbury and maybe Aylesbury
stopping at West Hampstead, I can't say the same for those from
Birmingham. That would be no more likely than trains from Leeds stopping
at Finsbury Park, from Birmingham at Willesden Junction or from
Leicester at West Hampstead. Oh, and Jamie, please could you try to
persuade Google to wrap your lines properly?

However, having given it some though, I question the value of
stopping Chiltern trains at West Hampstead. *The Jubilee Line
parallels the Bakerloo across the West End. *Passengers for Kings
Cross Saint Pancras, or the City can change elsewhere for the
Metropolitan.
Where?
Harrow-on-the-Hill, or walk from Marylebone to Baker Street.
