Fact is whilst the frequency is good and the ride into town quicker, Seat availability is way less than it was on most trains for users between Southall and Acton Main Line. So whilst London Borough Ratepayers pay extra to TfL, the actual real benefit of a seat on a train and a faster frequent service goes to those who live outside the GLA area or on the periphery where many commute to but do not pay the  the Council tax supplement. They pay the same fares as before but ,before outside of the rush hours, those inside the GLA boundaries no longer get a seat . Fine if you are fit and able to stand but not so good for those who cannot and even with a tweak to lifestyle to take later trains now cannot get a seat.  So no benefit for many.    Would be better to start trains from Hayes inside the London Zones to allow those who pay the levy to get some sort of benefit of a seat. But a real win if you live in Slough or Maidenhead.
