Nice photos.
I wonder if one day there will be a similar shot with a train stalled on that ramp in snow... J/K!!!

Nice photos. I wonder if one day there will be a similar shot with a train stalled on that ramp in snow... J/K!!! I'll make a note in my diary for Winter 2018.  Part of me is disappointed that the design of the ramp doesn't incorporate a junction with the Hammersmith & City line, which is also at subsurface level adjacent to the Crossrail ramp. It could even be designed with one Crossrail track rising earlier than the other, to make the Crossrail part of the junction grade separated. But such a junction wouldn't be of much use anyway. |

But such a junction wouldn't be of much use anyway. You could have the Paddington terminators extended to Hammersmith - or even via the old viaduct link to Ravenscourt and beyond (Richmond?) - allowing the elimination of Praed Street Junction and allowing through services from Baker Street to HSK and beyond. Longer platforms would be needed on the H&C - possibly some of the more closely spaced stations could become double-ended? |
