Default Denham Golf Club Parkway (was Crossrail and the GW link line)

How good is road access from the M25 corridor to Denham? If it's no
good or regularly jammed, then siting the parking lot at Denham Golf
Club would probably be a poor move.


Actually I was getting my geography a bit confused there, so disregard the
comments abount Denham itself! DGC is actually south of the M25, which runs
between DGC and GX (for some reason I was having a mental aberration and
thinking that it was between Denham and DGC). There is, however, a
considerable amount of spare land in the area. DGC actually lies very close
to the A40/A413 junction and just up the M25 from junction 1a, the M25/M40
interchange, so a spur from that junction ought to be possible, assuming
that the land can be acquired. A DGC Parkway would not necesssarily have to
be exactly on the existing site, it could move further from the Golf Club
and closer to the M25 to facilitate a Parkway-style station, serving traffic
from the M25, M40, A40 and A413, if properly planned.
