Now they can start building the railway... :-)

Indeed. But it would be good if Crossrail/TfL/NR could add some more
West and Northwest destinations, Gerards Cross, Tring, anywhere. :-)

Yes, I think there's still a hope that Crossrail will provide the WCML
locals to Tring, but I don't know if there's been any progress on the idea.
It may have to wait till the start of the Euston rebuilding for HS2. I
don't think there's any chance that they'll also serve the Chiltern line.

The longer and more complex a route becomes the less reliable it becomes.
IMO I think the tradeoff has already gone a bit too far towards the latter
by running trains all the way to reading. Personally I think crossrail should
have remained pretty much within the M25 boundary with decent interchange to
further destinations.
