Default Where actually did crane go over?

Last night, there was a report that a PW crane had overturned at West
London Junction, blocking several of the Waterloo lines in the vicinity
of Clapham Junction. Similarly, this morning's traffic reports say
continued blockage at Clapham due to overrunning PW works. Now, as far
as I know, West London Junction is actually at Willisden, and therefore
any incident there shouldn't affect traffic to/from Waterloo at
Clapham. Can only presume wrong junction listed. Anyone know the
true location?


West London Junction is also the name given to the junction where the
spur to the West London line branches off the main line from Waterloo
just before Clapham Junction - IIRC, it is the spur used by Eurostar
trains going to and from the North Pole depot.


I saw this crane on its side at about 6pm. My journey from Waterloo
to Guildford was lengthened from 40 minutes to 2 and a half hours by
this incident.
