Anglia Railways ran a train from the GEML (can't remember where) to
Reading or something, ISTR; that went via the NLL.

*gogols*

London Crosslink, that was it. Chelmsford (or Ipswich, according to some
sources) to Basingstoke, apparently; i would have assumed it was
Basingstoke via Reading, but from the sound of this (from a press
release):

It went via Feltham and Staines. How? I've turned up mentions of Richmond,
too; can you come down the NLL into Richmond and carry onto the Windsor
lines?


I think it ran directly from South Acton to Brentford, via Kew East and Old
Kew Junctions (bypassing west of Kew Bridge in other words). It would have
been the only passenger service over what is normally considered a freight
only line.

Joe Brown's London rail atlas reckons the connection at Richmond has been
lifted since 1972...
