Are you unaware of the 14tph reversing @ Westbourne Park?
I knew some would be reversing at Paddington, but with only 8tph from
each of the branches to the east, that only leaves 2tph which seems
too few.
There will be 24tph through the core but only 10 will continue past
Paddington.
Where are they starting from?
In the peak, 12 each per hour from both eastern branches. Of these, ten
proceed beyond Paddington.
Off peak, six from Shenfield, eight from Abbey Wood. Six proceed beyond
Paddington.
The tourist demand to Windsor would be off-peak, so it would be
abstracting from the six-beyond-Paddington, which actually means none to
Maidenhead. Unless the "Orange" service was extended to all day and sent
to Windsor, replacing 2tph of the Paddington terminators. Which is quite
a big change to the pattern.
