Regarding the new timetable, has anyone noticed that they claim the new
timetable will make more space on the track for a new stopping service
between Paddington and Heathrow BUT that this will not be introduced
until Spring '05... great so from December 12 to "Spring '05" are we
going to be running at an even lower capacity than normal?

The half hourly Paddington-Heathrow service will run from 12 December but
only as far as Hayes, and will be worked by Class 165s. It will be
extended from Hayes to Heathrow next Spring when the first four 360/2
Desiros are available. The first of these units is already at Old Oak
Common. Other services will also be strengthened after 12 December, with
more trains formed of two 165/166s instead of one providing more seats.
