Default Dudden Hill freight Line

Hi all,

Someone in the transport industry has informed me that some or all of this
has recently had its track restored. He expressed surprise that it is still
a double-track alignment, especially since the three recent plans to put
passenger trains on the line are all dead (Heathrow - St Pancras, Crossrail
via Amersham, and Virgin trains from the South Coast via Feltham to
Nottingham or thereabouts).

Why is it still double track? How many trains use it per day? Are there any
live plans to increase freight usage or introduce passenger services?
