In recent thread, there is a reference to the 1941 tube map at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clive.billson/tubemaps/1941.html to a
connection from Earl's Court to Latimer Road via Addison Road and
Uxbridge Road. Addison Road is now known as Kensington Olympia. Uxbridge
Road has gone. When and why? Between 1946 and 1949 according to
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clive.billson/tubemaps/1946.html and
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clive.billson/tubemaps/1949.html. I can
find no relevant words in Clive Feather's wonderful work at
www.davros.org/rail/culg/. [It will be better when he completes the
track diagrams. I am uncomfortable with his algebraic descriptions. I
appreciate it is a hobby and he has a day job. ]


There is a map here, which may explain the situation

That diagram is very helpful. Reference to a map suggests the route
would have been zapped by Westway construction. I can't imagine the
route can ever have been very busy.
