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.


None of these stations will have a reduced frequency in the new timetable.
The only difference is that the slow train to Slough now only goes as far as
Hayes.
