I have rewritten it to bring out the idea that the Line always has been of great importance as a link route round London. A map of the pre-grouping railways shows just how many junctions there were (are?) on its 10-mile journey: for a rail buff like me it must be a fascinating trip... There are many websites which discuss this line, and give good reasons for the building of the new stations, although I haven't referred to them. One of interest (although dated) is here. I also note that the West London Tram (mentioned originally) seems to be a non-starter so I've deleted it. Peter Shearan 06:34, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I dont see any detail of estimated times it take to get along the West London Line. That should include Shephards Bush and Imperial Wharf. Stephen Howe (talk) 19:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Missing junction from route diagram

I think the link from Addison Road/Kensington Olympia to Hammersmith (Grove Road) station and Richmond is missing from the diagram. The link can be seen on the Wikipedia page for Hammersmith (Grove Road) station. The link closed in 1916. I don't know hot to edit the diagram.Zin92 (talk) 06:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Passenger services

Although there was no "normal" passenger service for many years, there was in the 1940s and fifties a steam train a day each way between Clapham Junction and Kensington Olympia (Addison Road) for staff of the Post Office Savings Bank.--SilasW (talk) 09:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
