In recent thread, there is a reference to the 1941 tube map at

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

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

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.

The route was zapped long before the West Cross Route link road to
Westway was built but its construction did deliver the coup de grace if
anyone might have been thinking of reinstating the Latimer Road link.
