Anything about Ealing Bdy getting more services from this? I think the
stop should really be put on the Thames Express services if not the
GWR mainline.

With 11-12 trains an hour on the Main Lines, more in peak periods (4 HEx,
5-6 FGW, 2+ Thames) it is not practical to stop any of these at Ealing
Broadway or Hayes, and undesriable to have more trains switching between the
Main and Relief Lines. A few Slough stops are possible, as the service thins
out after HEx leave at Airport Junction. The proposed Paddington - Heathrow
stopping service will enable the Paddington - Slough stopping trains to miss
out West Ealing and Hanwell, and this in turn will allow a regular 15 minute
interval service on the Relief Lines Paddington - Ealing - Hayes - Slough
and stations to Reading.
