"that wouldn't serve the King's Road."

"Kings Road Chelsea is close enough to Sloane Square and South Kensington, and I don't think it's worth a minor detour."

Not really; Chelsea is a district poorly served by the tube. Those are long walks, or a bus journey through congested streets. That is one of the justifications for the Chelsea-Hackney tube line proposal; its two ends are probably the worst rail-served areas in inner London. Ironically, one very upmarket and one very downmarket, as it happens.

Not that this is an argument for bending Crossrail that way - it's an argument for a regular tube line, not an express line. Crossrail should have just a few stops in inner London, in my opinion, to keep its speed high.
