From over fifteen years commuting experience on the line, my feelings are
the opposite. I strongly feel that the solution should be for LUL to
operate
the Uxbridge and Watford (Junction, ASAP) branches, with the current fast
lines to Amersham and beyond transferred to Network Rail control, where
they
can be upgraded to proper main line standards of minimum 75mph, as opposed
to the present stagger. The two systems would then be entirely segregated.
Being a loyal Great Central man myself, I would love to see faster services
to Aylesbury. I've only done the return trip once (and that was very
recently) from Aylesbury to Marylebone and it did seem a shame that this
once-main-line had become a LUL backwater in places. Only south of Harrow
did it feel like we were actually moving again.

It would be nice to see Chiltern Rail continue to invest in their lines, as
they have in the past, and create the oft spoken of "Aylesbury North" as
well as faster trains to London. Perhaps even go further north of
Aylesbury - a regular service to the Bucks Rail Centre would be nice, even
though it's unlikely to ever pay its way.
