Got a response about this from the Crossrail team, so thought I'd post it
here. Not quite sure which services will continue to serve Maryland, as I
would have thought longer distance ones would be a bit frustrated to have to
stop again so close to Stratford, but there you are...

Dear Mr Elledge

Thank you for visiting www.crossrail.co.uk and your email, which has been
passed to me for attention. Please accept my apology for the delay in
responding.

Service patterns have not been established however it is estimated that
there would be 24 trains per hour through the central area with a split of
12 trains per hour equally on each of the branches. I can not confirm at
this stage that every Crossrail train will stop at every intended Crossrail
station.
As you noted, Crossrail line 1 does not intend to stop at Maryland, the
station will continue to be served by other train services to/from Liverpool
St station.

We have started a public awareness campaign to raise the profile of the
project with the general public and collect details of people and
organisations who would like to be kept informed about the project.
Following this will be a programme of Information Centres (November 2003) to
explain Crossrail and its effects on each area.

The Crossrail Bill process will take approximately 2 years and therefore
construction is not expected to commence until 2006. The current timetable
would see Crossrail line 1 open and rail services commence as part of a
staged programme in 2013.

We have recorded your interest in Crossrail and will contact you again
when we undertake the public consultation exercise.

I don't believe that for one minute! They must be planning to close it,
along with South Acton.

Blimey!

Isn't Acton South on NLL? Acton Mainline is the one on crossrail - I'm
sure earlier proposals had it listed. Would be a shame if it closed as
its in an area with pretty sparse transport links.

When I read it the first time, I read it as "Dribble", and presumed

I would be strongly against closing Acton Main Line.

It is used far less than the nearby North Acton - but I'm sure this
would quickly change if it was given frequent trains through to Central
London. The present service is half-hourly. It should be a Crossrail
stop - the walking route to North Acton is horrible.

[But a North London Line interchange in the same general area would be
even better.]

Yes, if it closed, Acton would only have 6 stations left.

True, but slightly unfair - the area is about half that encompassed by
the circle line, and only one of the 7 stations is any kind of
interchange even though 5 different lines are involved.
