I can't argue with any of that!

Another idea... the Greenford Branch is set to become a shuttle from
West Ealing in 2017. Although the frequency will go up from 2tph to
4tph, the curtailment could kill the line off.

With the demolition of parts of two light industrial premises and the
construction of a new curve by North Acton and another curve from
Willesden Junction High Level to Kensal Green, they could run 2tph from
West Ealing - DG - CBP - South Greenford - new platform at North Acton -
Willesden Junction High Level - KG - QP - KHR - SH - Euston. The other
2tph would run West Ealing - Greenford.


Well, that's certainly a creative way to link that orphan shuttle to LO,
where it probably does belong. But it would also be quite expensive,
involving two new chords, some redoubled track and electrification. Would a
five car 378 fit in the Greenford and West Ealing bay platforms? And is
there much demand for a 2 tph service from the Greenford route to Euston?

Wouldn't most potential pax prefer to change to the frequent Central line
at Greenford to get into town more quickly? It does seem like another
solution in search of a problem.
