In view of the number of trains planned to pass westwards through the
central tunnel which will terminate at Paddington, it would seem quite
feasible to make a junction with the Willesden Junction to Richmond line
somewhere near Old Oak Common/Wormwood Scrubs and extend some trains to
Richmond. Or if more money were to become available, then extend them even
further west along the route to Staines. Shepperton anyone? Or Terminal 5
from the west?


If you read the Crossrail development evidence on their website, ITYF that
Richmond/Kingston was a serious option at one stage, but it was removed
following pressure from the people of Richmond and Kingston...

There is also the issue of service polution.
