Plans? Are you sure? If so, where can I find them? Or do you just
mean "dreams"?

Ealing Council list it in their plans:

Not *their* plans. In (?)2005, they included it in the list of things they
wanted Crossrail to plan, but as we know it hasn't been included. They
didn't actually mention North Acton in that context, only a Crossrail
station and by implication one on the NLL. I would be very interested in
seeing any detailed planning for it, but I'm not aware that any has been
done.

Erm the GOBLIN's bay platform is on the westbound NLL platform isn't it?

Yes if you're going WB from the GobLin to the NLL, the interchange is
awkward via street level, if you're EB it's virtually cross-platform,

I think it's better if you look at how many of the lines it meets it
interchanges with, rather than by station. I get scores of 7 of 12
tube/DLR lines (including 3 at Stratford), 6 of 9 inner suburban
services, and unsurprisingly 0 of 7 outer surburban/intercity
services.

So in response to the question which you quoted, I think the answer you
intended was "No", rather than "Yes"?

Ealing Council bid for government funding to perform design work. I don't
know if they got it.

Since PAYG was extended to the Overground there are 3 new valid out of
station interchanges for PAYG purposes. These are

West Hampstead LU / West Hampstead NLL / West Hampstead Thameslink

Upper Holloway / Archway LU

Leytonstone High Road / Leytonstone LU.

Presumably South Tottenham/Seven Sisters is not regarded as a
reasonable interchange?

Further isolated stations are at Homerton and Hackney Wick before
finally, a triumphal return to a fully-integrated site is made at
Stratford.

... but not fully integrated with the Stratford HSL1 station.

Not that there is anything there to integrate with, nor will be for some
years.
