One has to walk for 20 minutes to get to Willesden Junction to board a silverlink train. Somewhat frustrating but there are no plans for such an interchange yet. It gets talked about every so often, but I imagine the business case is problematic as Silverlink platforms might interfere with freight operations between the Great Western and NLL/WCML/MML etc. The point where the NLL crosses the Central Line, which is about 300 metres east of North Acton station, is in the middle of Acton Wells Junction, an absolutely crucial point in the freight network. Any station on the NLL would have to be north or south of the junction, and that puts it quite a distance from North Acton, so it rather scuppers the idea of a convenient interchange. -- Richard J.
