An ePetition was started to request more service at Acton Main Line.

I expected more service than 4x/hour from the station. There is clearly demand as the trains in the morning often impossible to load due to overcrowding.  Even late at night, I note >200 people stopping at Acton Main Line after 22h which illustrates the value the stop offers. 

It's clearly not enough service for section of the city within 7 miles of the city.

The branch of the Liz line between Heathrow and the city is clearly what what most needed.  4 trains per hour with many passengers traveling with big luggage is sub-optimal and treats Acton as if it was a borough outside the M25 (eg. Outside the M25, Shenfield has 14 trains/hour that will bring you to Liverpool street, of which 8 to Paddington)

Many people, myself included, now look to take the train in lieu of our car/cab.  It's better for the environment but the service needs to be reliable and frequent enough.
