Default Airtrack to beat Crossrail to Heathrow?

Possibly Rocks Lane (actually a pair of crossings)


I think you mean Vine Road?

could be closed - but ironically that is the only one
with adjacent land that might make a bridge possible.
Bridges are the only (expensive) alternative to the
other two.


Why can't the railway be put in a shallow concrete sided cutting?


I still think that the best solution would be a Crossrail branch from
Wormwood Scrubs to Richmond, taking over most of the Windsor Lines services
out from there. There is room for four tracks on the ground for most if not
all of this part of the NLL. The Richmond to Clapham Junction line could
then easily handle the remaining local services.
