It seems that Crossrail has now (as of Friday 3rd Oct) confirmed an
underground station at Turnham Green as part of its Kingston branch.
Also the Custom House route is the preferred option for the North Kent
branch.

See pdfs on this page:

Also, the Kingston branch now stops there instead of continuing to Norbiton.
I think Norbiton was included only because there was more land there for
terminating a 12 tph service. The plan now seems to be 8 tph terminating at
Richmond (using the District line platforms, I suppose, since that service
would no longer operate) and only 4 tph going through to Kingston, which can
presumably be handled there instead of needing to go on to Norbiton.

The business case document issued last month assumes 24 tph through the
centre. To the east, that's 12 tph to Shenfield and 12 tph to Abbey
Wood/Ebbsfleet; to the west it's 12 tph to Richmond/Kingston and 6 tph to
Heathrow. Er, what happens to the other 6 tph going west?
