Most stations are still building sites, or work has not yet even been started.


Anyone know about this:

The Acton dive under is not in use anymore. On the relevant diagram on Opentraintimes http://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/d3_1#T_ACTONML it is marked as SHUT. Yet there hasn’t been a mention of this.


Lord Berkeley of the Rail Freight association.

It was his persistent insistence in the Lords & elsewhere that got the dive under built. He argued that without it freight would be seriously delayed in Acton Yard. That is what is happening now & an approximate £30 million pounds of our money has been thrown down the drain.

As reported in another forum, the Acton Dive-under was structurally damaged by a Road-Rail Vehicle (RRV). It is currently under going repair. (As reported on Crossrail website (Route/Near You)).
