There is always the potential for failures on main lines to mean that
signalliers will reroute some trains to slow lines. I understand that
in the longer term it may be necessary to shove HEX on to the local
lines (but I might be wrong on that). Depends entirely on the scale of
FGW services post electrification and catering for growth.

What's really needed for HEX is another pair of lines Airport Jn-Padd.
Wharncliffe Viaduct and Ealing Broadway-West Ealing are the main problems
to achieving that, as far as I can see.
