This would mean that down services to Wimbledon via East Putney would
have to share the Windsor line, but up services (if the Putney flyover
was to be reinstated) would have to share the slow line.

Probably still not impossible, but it would involve some complex
timetabling - especially since timings of both Windsor and stopping
services are already heavily constrained by the four level crossings on
the two-track part of the line between Barnes and Richmond.


Future Airtrack requirements from Waterloo to Heathrow also need to
factored into the calculations. There also the question of acess to
the Latchmere and Ludgate routes at CJ.
