There is another option - if trains didn't visit Clapham Junction
at all, they could go from Imperial Wharf to Wandsworth Road
directly, without reversing. I don't have a track map to hand, but
ISTR that this can be done without conflicting movements across
other tracks.
Misses out a rather important traffic objective, though.
Another option would be to maintain the status quo on the West London line
and to continue Orbirail on from Willesden Junction to South Acton, thence
via South Acton Junction and Kew Junctions to join the Brentford loop,
running through Barnes and Putney to Clapham Junction and on via Wandsworth
Road, creating a true orbital service. Gunnersbury to Richmond could then be
turned over entirely to District Line operation.
