I travelled on this train this morning. Very interesting. There was

reason for the service was to maintain Chiltern's right of way into
Paddington and seemed to think that staff training was a secondary
consideration.

He also confirmed there was no chance of Chiltern sending more trains
to Paddington because of a lack of train paths and platforms.

What use is maintaining Chiltern's "right of way" if they don't have the
right to more than one path a day?
