Ok, so you think that having marginally easier journeys from a small
number of town near London to a small number of places within London
will suddenly overcome all other perceived problems?

You seem to miss that the purpose of Crossrail has nowt to do with the
outer branches. It's all about the tunnel in the middle relieving
existing tube lines to the City, Docklands, Stratford, etc. The GWML
is simply a convenient way to add Heathrow to the scheme, and they
only go to Maidenhead and Shenfield because it's easier than not doing
so.
