In my view, we had a very near miss. I do think things are better now:
Crossrail, TL2000, *etc., *projects I think that were virtually
inconceivable two generations ago..

OTOH much 1950s planning for London was on the mark. By the mid
sixries we had the Victoria Line. It should have been followed by
the
Chelsea to Hackney line.
