I'm very slightly dubious about this. Where are the trains run using this

West Anglia:
"On the Great Eastern route, it has been assumed that a 6 tph service
would
operate in the peak period between Gidea Park and Liverpool Street. On
the
West Anglia route via Hackney Downs, an additional 6 tph are assumed
to
operate following the opening of Crossrail. "

And the first lot of trains mean a net increase in service on the
Shenfield route.

Okay, i thought it was path-for-path. There will be more actual trains
under Crossrail?

Interesting question. I think the peak provision remains the same but
they'll be running more trains off peak. Sounds like it shouldn't be a
problem, but AIUI due to freight and the platforms at Paddington being
taken up by intercity services which are busy all day, there's not
capacity to run it at the moment.

Is TLnK getting Victoria trains? I haven't been keeping up, i have to
confess.

Not directly, but Victoria and London Bridge/Blackfriars serve a lot
of the same places.
