Hmmm.

With that schedule, they could serve Hanwell, Acton Main Line and West
Ealing as well, unless the Heathrow branch is incredibly slow. This
would solve the main problem with the new service, which is vastly
reduced frequency at these 3 stations.

(Standard slow train timing Paddington to Hayes is 20 minutes, missing
only Acton Main Line.)
