[edit] Connection/s to SR line
The line diagram and other references show one connection between the Staines West line and the ex-L&SWR, but there were two though not contemporaneous. In WWII a curve was laid from just south of Yeoveney Halt to an east-facing connection on the SR east-bound track to give a diversionary route if central London north-south routes were cut by bombing, the hut near Yeoveney with the token machine still stood, doorless, around 1950. Didn't the oil depot line run west from the SR westbound track then north over the Staines West branch bridge?--SilasW (talk) 19:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
