My preferred solution (though I'm sure someone will tell me why it's
wrong!) would have been a low-level junction between Crossrail and H&C and
Hammersmith served by Crossrail rather than 10tph terminating at Paddington. But
now it's built the tunnels are in the wrong place for that

That is something I considered a while back. Here are some of the
Pros:
The issue of the 10 terminating trains is solved.


Crossrail will have 14 tph terminating at Paddington. Only 10tph will
continue westward.

An altogether tragic waste.


I thought the new idea was for them to terminate and reverse at OOC, which
makes more sense?
