What about this for an idea- combine the Greenford branch and Barking to
Gospel Oak into a single service via Ealing Broadway and Willesden

Line and the west via Ealing Broadway. If paths in the Willesden
Junction area are a problem then some of the Stratford trains could run
to Willesden Junction low level via Queens Park.

I do think killing the service to Paddington, or anywhere similarly
central, would be a bit fatal.

How about making the branch part of the Central Line? You'd need about a
mile of four-tracking to get to the junction from Ealing Broadway; would
that be at all feasible?
