Is this going to be the first stage of the electrification of the whole
GWR main line or is that still pie in the sky?

So, no, the powers that be do not admit that Crossrail will run to
Reading. Received wisdom is that it will.

If the infrastructure is already going to be there anyway there's no really
good reason not to.


AIUI the Crossrail maintenance depot will be at Reading.
