I have to disagree with that view. ISTM that there will be very few
passengers of a public transport system who would "prefer" to add a 70
pound
taxi fare onto the end when a simple interchange to a "metro" system
(could)
exist.


70 GBP in a taxi from Old Oak would take you to Romford!


I was replying to a comment about justifying OOC not being built, so the
fare would be from Euston (to Heathrow).
