Forgive my newbie question if i've missed the answer to this somewhere on this in-depth message board's coverage
Between White City and North Acton around the East Acton area there are two bridge over roads with additional empty bridges next to the actual central line. where the central line pops under the GWML at old oak common/north pole depot, the old bridge appears (on Google Earth) to be 4 tracks wide (although the new bridge for the north pole depot doesn't).
a brief look on Wikipedia, Clive Underground Line Guide (CULG), New Adlestrop railway atlas, and even here (District Dave's forum) shows no mention of any old line (maybe GWR?) there or attempts to 4 track the central there either.
anyone got any clues, guesses, etc
An old branch line for mainline trains ?
thanks in advance
some pics (MS Live earth);
looking from the west, where the tracks return to normal running after white city. note extra wide footbridge
looking from the west, a bridge before East Acton
looking from the west, East Acton station
looking from the west, a bridge after East Acton station
looking from the south, the central line dives under the GWML (circa Old Oak Common depot / North Pole). I believe the new lines at the bottom of the photo are for North Pole. It would appear the other lines are 4(ish) tracks wide
