There's no
fundamental reason why it would be any less reliable than Crossrail's
currently planned GWML services to Maidenhead, which will also run on a
mixed traffic railway, including freight, and other services running to
Reading and beyond.

Your comments suggest you haven't really got much of a clue about how
Crossrail will work on the GW reliefs.

Does anybody? Feel free to cite a working timetable post Crossrail
and WR electrification.

I can link to the currently proposed Network Rail track access option for
the Crossrail to Maidenhead situation, without GW electrification. There
are three 24 hr schedules in the document, for Crossrail, residual GW and GE
passenger services, and for freight:

Clearly if Crossrail gets extended to Reading, some of the DMU services will
disappear, but the freight will still be there.
