I was waiting at Turnham green for 25 mins for a richmond train. What ever happened to the proposal too run a branch from the central line to Richmond and discontinue the district service? Was it all connected to Crossrail going ahead? There was a proposal in the 1920's for a Central Line extension from Shepherd's Bush to Gunnersbury, and there was even an Underground map poster showing it as a dotted line. There's one in the Acton Depot of London's Transport Museum. The only recent proposal of this sort was the "Corridor 6" option for Crossrail, involving a tunnel from the GMWL at Wormwood Scrubs to just west of Turnham Green, then via Gunnersbury and Richmond to Kingston, which would have meant closing the District's service to Richmond. That idea was dropped in 2004 in favour of the current plan to run Crossrail to Maidenhead. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
