1  Journey by Journey / London to Swindon and Bristol / Re: Class 387 coming to Thames Valley - ongoing discussion on: September 15, 2016, 21:10:07
Indeed - the easiest solution is to increase the station change time from 3 mins to 5mins & that connection would no longer be in the planners.

That would be really pointless as the 17:15 & 18:45 from Paddington only call at West Ealing in order to make the Greenford connections.

3 minute advertised connection times work at Twyford & Maidenhead no problem.

That's a bit harsh about West Ealing.  There are 4 trains per hour to/from Paddington, and the Greenford service provides 2 of them.  A lot of people will get off the 17:15 and 18:45 at  West Ealing.  Remember that it's a station with about £1.3m passenger entries and exits per year
