My son wants to buy a flat near West Ealing as he says it will benefit
from Crossrail.
I looked this up on their website and can see a new station is being
built but there will still only be 4 tains an hour and it will take just
3 minutes off the travelling time to Paddington. The trains will be
longer so maybe the journey will be more comfortable.
I do not live in London can anyone explain the reasons why Crossrail
will be so beneficial to places like West Ealing?

Because you'll be able to do direct journeys much further than
Paddington in one direction and Ealing in the other.
