IIRC, earlier in the thread I conceded that converting the Hammersmith
Branch to a Crossrail extension is perhaps not a good idea.

On the positive side this means that the branch will remain something
of a preserved example of early urban transit. Between Westbourne
park and Goldhawk Road, the route is in essence an "Elevated". There
are not too many examples of "Els" left anywhere in the world. Only
Chicago has signifficant sections remaining.

You've not looked at south London lately then...
