It's impratical mainly because of infrastructure constraints - pathing
over the link line from Neasden South Junction to Northolt Junction is
very tight, with the various stoppers/semis and fast trains from
Stratford and Birmingham all competing for track space. A decent
service can only be had by restoring the through lines at at least one
of the original stations along the stretch.

If the infrastructure were available, running a more intensive stopping
service would only depend on ridership.
