Acton Dive-Under – March 26th 2016
The track is now going in.
Modern Railways reported in the April 2016 Edition, that the civils are completed and the track is goin in. The article also says.
The new junction will enable long empty stone trains to snake westward out of the yard while eastbound Crossrail trains roll through beneath. Segregating the freight and Crossrail trains ads so much reliability into the timetable, it is well worth the investment to create it.
This article on IanVisits is entitled A look at Crossrail’s critical Acton dive under and was written in September 2015, gives a lot more details of the dive-under with quite a few pictures from inside.

Hi, would it be possible to have a hi-res copy of your pic looking towards Acton directly above the dive under from the bridge that shows the digger and the signal clearly? Many thanks.
