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

Chicago has signifficant sections remaining.


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


Isn't there a sort of circular elevated route in Paris? It's been a
long time ...
