There's some interesting information on the old LSWR line in the Middleton Press book on the West London Line, including some early maps.
Remember too the original H&C was built to dual gauge, the GWR Broad Gauge of 7' and a bit and standard gauge, hence the wider tunnels and wide spacing of the tracks on the open-air sections.
The disused underpass at Turnham Green used to be used by LMS coal trains from Brent to West Kensington and High Street Kensington coal depots. You'll find a couple of threads about those depots elsewhere on here.
