Default Greenford branch closure this week

Do 2 Chiltern trains an hour really necessitate the suspension of the
Greenford trains (AFAIK they weren't even running up that branch, but
turning off at Acton?) Could FGW not have run a Hayes/Hanwell-
Greenford service (as they have done before e.g. Ladbroke Grove/lorry-
v-train incident at West Ealing)?


I did think suspension without even a rail replacement bus service was
rather poor.

But why not a combination of extra stops in the Chilterns and a DMU
shuttle?
