Apologies - I was typing my first post on my iphone so didn't provide all info.

Yes I travel from Ealing Broadway to West Drayton. My specific gripe (of many to be saved for another time) is with peak period of 6.30pm onwards.

As Southall is already well served with the Heathrow Connect (and a much nicer air conditioned train), why not cease stopping the Reading/Oxford trains there, therefore increasing space allowing these services to stop at stations after Hayes. Many many people alight at both Southall and Hayes leaving what would have been adequate space for other passengers.

I am sure there would be ramifications to this proposal - I'm not a train scheduler. But managing the shorter range traffic more efficiently would surely benefit the capacity on the rest of the line.

Am I being too simplistic?

Once again FGW^▸ (First Great Western) have reduced my service in the busiest period. There used to be a train every 15 minutes when I moved to west Drayton four years ago. That was reduced to 20, and now  it's 30. I can understand during off peak but this is getting rediculous. Southall and Hayes are very well served, but poor west Drayton gets the brunt.
Hillingdon is building huge housing complexes in west Drayton with no consideration for transport capacity.
What can any of us do to get this changed?
Roll on crossrail.
