Also, frequency is the central point of John's criticism -
more trains should stop at these stations, then the fast
journey to London wouldn't be crippled by aeons-long waits!
I don't know much about the Chiltern services, but i should
imagine there are enough trains that you could get
4 or even 6 tph at these stations.


Really don't think there is any demand - 12tph total to
the Sudbury area would probably be a gross oversupply.



It isn't about supplying the Sudbury area, it's about interchange!


The demand for interchange at the Ruislips is pretty low, and I reckon
demand at Sudbury is even lower. How is the expense of frequent
inner-suburban trains on Chiltern justified to meet such a low demand?
