Default Greenford branch & Crossrail (was Barking-Greenford?)

Further to the whole Greenford thing, I totally forgot that the
Greenford branch may *not* lose all its passengers if it is cut back to
West Ealing for Crossrail, as Crossrail proposes that the frequency of
the branch is doubled to 4tph (making connections to Crossrail at West
Ealing). There would be cross-platform interchange from a bay platform
for Greenford trains to eastbound Crossrail trains.

Journey times from Greenford to Liverpool Street would be marginally
quicker via Crossrail than via the Central line (35 mins vs. 38 mins).
