[which closed to passengers in 1947], just north of the GWML.
In other words, a direct connection from Kensington Olympia to the
Paddington-Northolt-Birmingham route.
The decision to close the line was probably taken on the basis there could
never be a modern or upgraded station opened anywhere near Shepherds Bush;
and so far they've been proved right!
