Default Optimum configuration of Crossrail (Was: Diesel Electric Trains on CrossRail)

Aidan Stanger wrote about a semi-fast Crossrail service to Milton
Keynes...


The kind of service I envisage would stop at Willesden
Junction to give cross platform access to the Tube.


Interesting idea, but... Wouldn't this involve major restrucuring of
all the fast and slow lines in the Willesden Jn area? Possibly even
closing Euston while it's carried out!

The disruption during the work wouldn't be popular with passengers.
After all, the current WCML disruption is bad enough, and you want to
make them go through it all over again!?!
