Crossrail and the GW link line (was: Barking-Greenford?)

Denham Golf Club Parkway? Get rid of a station that virtually nobody
uses and replace it with a *useful* facility! Actually, if you
positioned the new station between the M25 and Denham itself you
might be able to replace Denham Golf Club and Denham itself, in one
fell swoop. It surprises me that the normally forward-thinking
Chiltern have never proposed such a thing. It would also lighten the
load on Gerrards Cross, which is getting very busy now.
How good is road access from the M25 corridor to Denham? If it's no
good or regularly jammed, then siting the parking lot at Denham Golf
Club would probably be a poor move.
To be honest, I suspect that Chiltern have adopted a wait-and-see
attitude about park&ride on the GW/GC route; if/when they complete the
realignment at Beaconsfield and the additional signalling north of High
Wycombe, they may experience a "sparks effect" and start thinking about
such improvements - especially if it happens to link in with Crossrail
and increase the chances of people using their trains to reach the
Crossrail services.
