The half hourly Heathrow Connect stopping services from Paddington should
reach Heathrow T123 in about 28 mins, compared with 15 mins for Heathrow
Express services.

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.

Your source for this statement?

Mine is Ealing Gazette, backed up by the reaction of Ealing Council
and the response of FGW to local complaints, which is that the trains
will be longer. One qualification: the local discussion is about peak
hour frequencies. It is possible that off-peak frequencies are not
affected.
