In terms of the survey, to get an official response perhaps you should ask GWR^▸ directly? Or Graham could ask them directly on behalf of the forum.

That makes some sense to me.

If you recall, GWR did ask the question of their stakeholders (and you posted a thread on here, Graham about that) last summer as to whether we thought that there was any demand. That was apropos going to the DfT^» with this evidence for clearance. Obviously, NR^» would have flagged the Paddington closure & either GWR felt with it closed, thee was little point, and/or the DfT refused to cover the costs.
