So you propose building a tunnel at astronomic cost for the section

of
the route that will carry the least traffic?

I have no doubt that there are a great many better ways of spending
the money.

You are of course correct. The aesthetics of a loop at the western end
of the Central Line to match the one at the eastern end appeal to me!
:-)

Maybe the Greenford loop could be served only from its Northern end by
the Central Line?

There is, I believe, still merit in the idea of terminating Crossrail
trains at Ealing as opposed to Paddington. But, sending all Central
Line trains to West Ruislip would be an over supply of service.
