How about there being NO tube or rail service between Greenford and
West Ealing whatsoever...it could become a branch of the West London
tram!

How much use is made of the West Ealing - Greenford line by freight, or ecs
workings (e.g to turn), and is this use sufficient to preclude conversion to
tube or tram? One of the oddest uses of the line was around 1967 when the
Stirling to Newhaven Motorail used it northbound, and the Newhaven to
Stirling used it southbound. (The Motorail came up the MML then via Dudding
Hill, Acton Wells, Acton Main Line, Drayton Green, Park Royal, Old Oak
Common, the WLL and the Brighton Main Line).
