Do 2 Chiltern trains an hour really necessitate the suspension of the
Greenford trains (AFAIK they weren't even running up that branch, but
turning off at Acton?) Could FGW not have run a Hayes/Hanwell-
Greenford service (as they have done before e.g. Ladbroke Grove/lorry-
v-train incident at West Ealing)?

Although they don't use the Greenford branch, the Chiltern services do use
the Greenford shuttle paths between Old Oak West Junction and Paddington, I
believe. Which still doesn't really explain why a Greenford to Ealing
Broadway shuttle couldn't run, as it has in the past.
