Cross rail in west london

hi does any one have any info on where the tracks are going to on the west London side of the route?
any way Ealing Broadway and Southall with have to be totally knocked down and make a whole new layout.

no new GWML tracks would be built. There's a portal at Royal Oak, and that's about it.

There will be new reversing sidings at Maidenhead, but that's it West of Acton Main Line.

Indeed. Slightly off the topic, but there was once a Crossrail plan that included 6-tracking this section. It died.

Let's see:
- Acton Freight Yard given grade separated access to Reilef Lines
- West Ealing gets west-facing bay platform with dedicated track to Greenford branch
- 5 tracking from Airport Junction to east of Hayes (including demolishing lots of Hayes and Hayes station)
- New very elaborate flyover propperly connecting the relief lines to Airport Junction
- 5 tracking Iver-West Drayton
- New west-facing bay at Slough

There's a diagram here. Everything in blue or red is new or modified:

But they are knocking down Ealing Broadway station and rebuilding tho aren't they?

i think there were going knock that down are make a big interchange for the buses and trains (bus station aswell).

Ealing Broadway gets a new entrance building/concourse over the mainline (ie slightly further south than the existing one, which will close), and a new footbridge with lifts.

(which is true of several stations, and just about all of them get platform extensions to handle 10 car trains)

These show some aspects of the work, maybe slightly out of date.
