Default Crossrail link to Reading hangs in the balance

The other extension to Crossrail that seems fairly obvious to me is to
extend the trains currently planned to terminate at Paddington up the
former GW&GC joint line. Bring the Old Oak - Northolt East line back
into proper use, rebuild the main line platforms at Greenford, making
this the first stop out of Padd, then run all-stations to Princes
Risboro and Aylesbury (some trains probably terminating at High
Wycombe). But this is clearly too extensive to be sensible to include
in the initial project.


Wasn't something like this in some of the earlier Crossrail iterations?
At one stage it was going to take over all Aylesbury services, as well
as Met services to Amersham.
