Default Crossrail and the GWML

Hi all,

Just had a look at the Crossrail website, it has information sheets for
each station along the route. Below is a summary of most of the
information for the GWML stations:

All Peak Frequencies:

· 4tph from Acton Main Line to Central London (direct services to
Heathrow and the West).

· 10tph from Ealing Broadway to Central London.

· 4tph from West Ealing to Central London (direct services to Heathrow
and the West).

· 2tph from Hanwell to Central London (direct services to Heathrow and
the West).

· 10tph from Southall to Central London.

· 10tph from Hayes & Harlington to Central London.

· 6tph from West Drayton to Central London.

· 2tph from Iver to Central London.

· 4tph from Langley to Central London.

· 4tph from Slough to Central London.

· 4tph from Burnham to Central London.

· 2tph from Taplow to Central London.

· I am assuming 4tph from Maidenhead to Central London, and 4tph goes to
Heathrow.

Train stabling facilities at West Drayton Yard (former coal depot) – 22
Trains. Facilities at Maidenhead in former goods Yard – 6 trains.
Reversing Sidings at Maidenhead (2). 12 trains at Old Oak Depot (north
of First Great Western’s depot).

Overhead wiring would be undertaken at Maidenhead Bridge (Grade II
listed structure)

At West Drayton platforms 3, 4 and 5 would be extended for Crossrail.
Land would be acquired between Langley and West Drayton to allow for a
fifth track here for the express Crossrail service to overtake (the
route is five track in places at the moment).

At Maidenhead there would be a new terminal platform for the Bourne End
branch. At West Ealing there would be a terminal platform for the
Greenford service. However the Greenford – West Ealing service would
increase to 4tph to make up for the truncation.


Jeff.
