I believe that plan died a few years ago.

I've certainly seen it alive more recently than that; I think it's
died and been revived several times over the years. I suspect that
it's probably dead now, at least until the present economic climate
improves.

Probably longer than that -- Chiltern is now more focused on serving
longer distance routes (Brum, and soon Oxford, and maybe even Miltpn
Keynes), not suburban London. It provides a minimal service to its other
London stations, and wouldn't want to have stopping local trains holding
up its increasing number of fast, longer distance trains.
