3) Central Line & Silverlink Metro at North Acton. There are no
silverlink platforms at North Acton despite it crossing the central
line here. 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.
