I reckon the answer is "Mitre Bridge", just south of Willesden. The
passenger service would be the one from Kensington Olympia to the
Great Western Main Line at Acton (or vice versa).

PhilD, yes you are right!

Mitre Bridge, crossed by the Rugby/Watford to South Coast trains?

Yes, Clive, you're right too!

There was one on the Ongar branch, at North Weald station.

There is another foot crossing east of Blake Hall station.

There is a level crossing just north of Acton Central on the NLL
which is in zone 2 although I am not sure if it is any closer than Barnes.

There's another two just south of South Acton, one on the NLL, one on
the freight curve that connects the NLL to the Hounslow loop line.
For road users both these crossings are on Bollo Lane.

However, Barnes is closer to CX than Acton.

It's certainly closer than South Acton, but I think it's further than
Acton Central, which is due west of Charing Cross. If you're used to
the straight Thames of the tube map, you might have expected the
opposite (which is what I thought the "trick" was, but apparently not).

This is within the Zone 2 bondary as far as I can make out, since
both Olympia and Willesden, the stations either side, are.

Is it a public road? There's no level crossing marked there in my A-Z
nor on multimap.com.

I have passed over the crossing 4 times by train within the last month or so,
and each time there was a queue of traffic of all sorts on each side of the
railway line. It gives access to the Mayer Parry scrap yard from Scrubs Lane
and there is nothing as you leave Scrubs Lane to say it is a private road. So,
I assume it is a public road, if only for the limited destination to which it
leads.

vaguely remember there's one on the West London line itself just
after it leaves the WCML, and another in the Eurostar depot at North
Pole. However, as to whether these are nearer than Barnes and
actually inside zone 2 I don't know. I'm probably imagining their
presence anyway.

Willesden Junction station is in Zone 3 actually, though I agree the
crossing is within Zone 2, and it's nearly a mile nearer to Charing Cross
than the ones at Barnes.

Sorry, I have mis-read my pocket Underground map: I thought Willesden Junction
was on the border of Zones 2 and 3 but, on closer inspection, I see that it is
just inside the Zone 3 area! I confess here and now that I have more than once
travelled from Clapham to Willesden on a Zone 1 & 2 Travelcard, albeit without
leaving the station!

I rather seem to have walked into that! But at least it wasn't me who was
overheard on a train the other day saying, quite noncahlantly, "I've got to do
a bit of child abuse at Southwark next week...." And, I actually heard a pretty
female colleague once saying "I've always got sex at the Bailey..."
