No chance - from North Acton the Central Line quickly rises to
embankment once it emerges from under the GWML and North Pole depot
and passes over a number of bridges and then, just after East Acton,
the WB line crosses over as right-hand running is in place from there
to just before Shepherd's Bush (a throwback to the old CLR Wood Lane
loop).
