Under the Crossrail regime there are no through Bourne End - Paddington's.  Not sure what the morning and evening peaks will be 2 or 3 car

What makes you come to that conclusion?

Crossrail's own website assumes that there will be 1tph in the peaks through from Bourne End to Paddington and 1pth in the peaks through from Henley on Thames to Paddington.

The branches will be electrified (except Greenford), so the days of the Turbos serving them will be over in a few years time.

This is in Crossrail's list of "other operators'" services, and reflects the "residual GW^▸ (Great Western)" service. As such it is the same as now, in the narrow sense that 1 tph during a 2-hour peak and only in the peak direction is 2 a day each way.

It was the proposal in the London & South East RUS^▸ (Route Utilisation Strategy), to replace this residual service by Crossrail extended to Reading, that led to the suggestion of suppressing these through services.

Looking at the plan it appears there isn't a direct connection from the branch to the Relief lines. So no through trains even if the branch is electrified.

That isn't correct though?  The key suggests to me the green lines are the lines Crossrail will use; but they are not the only lines.

Hope that isn't the case then.. The "worksite is the whole front car park, Silco Drive plus part of Shoppenhangers car park.. Hopefully if that was going to happen it would be communicated slightly further in advance... Although I guess that won't all be this weekend I do wonder whether Silco drive will be there much longer.. After all it appears Apcoa have given up on checking tickets in it all this year 

Apologies for my double post here (I was just trying to modify my original post and didn't do it very well).. I won't remove either now as it no one seems to have noticed (well other than Chris From Nailsea  )

Cough ... Chris from Nailsea was merely offering some assistance with correcting any 'errors or omissions' in such an inadvertent muddle of posting - as indeed I would to anyone who might be similarly embarrassed ... 

[johoare]

Well yes... I thought I'd merely leave my ineptitude for others to learn from and to also realise that Chris is better (much much better than I) at noticing these things
