Noo... don't send Chiltern services into Paddington! Marylebone is
getting two new platforms this year so Chiltern should manage OK. The
line from Northolt into Paddington would also need some major trackwork
as it is, at present, extremely slooooow.


Of course in steam days this was a very fast stretch with speeds of around
80mph not uncommon through Greenford in the up direction, and 27-28min
running times for High Wycombe-Paddington. What a contrast with the sad
neglected state of the line today.
