What is happening to the Greenfords? Are these also using Crossrail?
What terminating seices (if any) are likely to remain that use the
relief lines?

On another note, where precisely will Crosrail join the GWML? On the
relief line side or on the main?


On the relief side, utilizing a flat junction. My best guess is that
it will be somewhat west of Royal Oak station. But that is based on
the hoardings there at the moment.
