The satellite view on Google maps shows that the Central Line runs adjacent to the GWML for about half a mile before heading north-west to West Acton. There is no significant amount of waste land where the lines diverge, nor where the District diverges closer to EB station. But the real problem is that without serious demolition of property, there just isn't the space at the station itself to put in extra platforms to cope with terminating Crossrail there. -- Richard J.

But the real problem is that without serious demolition of property, there just isn't the space at the station itself to put in extra platforms to cope with terminating Crossrail there. My thinking was that the Crossrail terminal platforms would replace the existing Central Line platforms. However, previous usenet comments lead me to believe that would leave West Ruislip over served. |
