Not really, the site boundary is close but there is a road and a green embankment between the two. And the site is going to be very intensively developed with tall stands and flats. Zero chance of a ball going onto the line. But it will certainly dominate the view from the station.
The railway line that passes through Kew Bridge is adjacent to the stadium on the right hand side of the "The View" graphic in the link. There is another line (presumably linking Kew Gardens-Gunnersbury on the Overground/District Line) that passes by to the left in the graphic, which is presumably the line you're thinking of.
Please stick to the topic, or I'll get all moddy on you. The topic is Ollie Watkins, not railway lines. (facepalm)

A friend told me he goes by bus..
No, the other way round - Kew Bridge station is on the left, Lionel Road South is between the station and the main entrance / South Stand of the new stadium. The sharp curve on the right is the loop from the Gunnersbury line to South Acton.
There's a really good supermarket near the new stadium where they sell bog rolls at a 15% discount. The owner is a chappie called Byron Winsshlurp von Badenhassel and he often has a chat with Ollie as he hops off the bus and pops in to buy some crisps and a coke, suitably dressed in a Bed Taker three piece suite : sofa and two armchairs, of course. Ollie hates traveling by train because it's always late and he finds railway lines, junctions etc totally boring.
Ah yes, the Gunnersbury line is to the right. The artists impression does still to me overplay the gap from stadium to station - passing through it twice a day as I do, I'm struck by the proximity.
