In the latest RAIL, the Business Development Manager (I think that was his
title) of Chiltern says that he wants to run trains to Old Oak Common via
the Park Royal line, which he said would need upgrading. I presume he was
talking about more than the one return journey the line gets now.

And I presume he intends running trains ultimately to Paddington, not
terminating them at OOC :-)

I wonder if his intention will be eventually to run all Birmingham/Wycombe
trains to Paddington rather than Marylebone, or whether some trains will go
to Paddington and some/most to Marylebone.

When Marylebone was under threat of closure in the 1980s, the plane was for
all Wycombe trains to use the Park Royal line.

In a recent thread about this route, it was accepted that
Paddington does not have enough spare capacity to receive
Chiltern trains.
