Default Kensal Crossrail Station/North Pole Depot

Yesterday, Modern Railways (November) reached this distant outpost of
civilization (Reno). On page 8 is an item discussing the possibility
of a Crossrail Station in the Kensal/Old Oak Common area. This, in
itself, is not a great idea IMHO.

However, the column goes on to say that this locale, including the no-
longer-used Eurostar depot at North Pole is a "regeneration site".

Apart from this area's future transport utility, i.e. a possible HS2
link, surely it is crazy to dispose of an almost new train depot.

Could North Pole find a new life as the depot for the coming GW ML
electric trains, or as home for HS2's rolling stock?
