Acton Lane Junction - but not a point in sight

Many years ago, a line did indeed diverge to the right at this point, making the east side of Gunnersbury Triangle, but even so this is a junction. The gap in the conductor rails indicates the change of ownership between London Underground Limited and Network Rail, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2205640 and there are plenty of other instances from the past history of British railway companies where an end-on meet like this was named as a junction.
