You will change to the Elizabeth line at Old Oak Common - indeed for several years , thats going to as close at you get to Central London on ANY service !
Its a massive rail junction and maintenance depot in West Acton just north of Wormwood Scrubs where the line passes the Great Western -Paddington and several freight only lines .
Through with usual lack of connected thinking the North London and Orbital London (London Overground) passes under 700ms to the southern end of the junction yet will not connect for passengers services whatsoever.
Another element of the fiasco we currently have.
I think we can park current HS2 proposals here and for a few years in relation to Manchester and until we do have a change of government and sight of a developed and deliverable national transport policy.
