Addison Road is now known as Kensington Olympia. Uxbridge Road has gone. When and why? Between 1946 and 1949 according to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clive.billson/tubemaps/1946.html and http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clive.billson/tubemaps/1949.html. I can find no relevant words in Clive Feather's wonderful work at www.davros.org/rail/culg/. [It will be better when he completes the track diagrams. I am uncomfortable with his algebraic descriptions. I appreciate it is a hobby and he has a day job. ![]() There is a map here, which may explain the situation http://tinyurl.com/ypnw4z That's a good map. The link from the West London Line to Latimer Road was destroyed by bombing in 1940, and was never reopened. I note that Uxbridge Road was closed at the same time, presumably because the only service it had was via Latimer Road. (Services to Willesden Junction had ceased in 1939 at the start of WW2.) The tube map continued to show the Latimer Road connection until (I think) 1947, when the 'temporary' closure became permanent. -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |
