I think Slough was far enough. Windsor IMO, assuming crossing the mainline is at all possible. It's single track from Slough and a single platform, so capacity and the ability to recover during disruption are poor. If Crossrail is supposed to be for shifting commuters deep into the core, rather than them being dumped at Paddington on legacy services, then Reading is a sensible terminus. And don't forget the people commuting *to* Reading from smaller stations on the GWR corridor. But conveying commuters from stations in Berkshire to Reading isn't TfL's job. As Neil says, Crossrail should be focusing on travel in the Greater London area. Are there enough paths for both the Crossrail trains you'd be running only as far as Slough, plus the legacy commuter services from Berkshire? No, they'd need to change where the services meet. And the local trains reverse and go back to Reading? Has Slough got enough platforms for that, as well as reversing the Crossrails. -- Roland Perry |
