This map was pointed out recently on ORR site, gives a fair idea of the
impact of crossrail on the existing lines...

Interesting!

Just west of the portal is a feature comprising a plethora of crossovers,
a two-track siding, through lines and a platform around the whole lot. I
assume this is the famous Westbourne Park turnback siding. I read recently
that it would be possible for passengers to be turned off the train here;
i assume that's what the platform's for. However, the map makes it look
like there will be platform faces on the through lines as well. Is this
then, in effect, a station? Just one where no trains will stop?
