Are you suggesting Crossrail has not yet started?


No what I am suggesting is that it has taken too long to deliver.

CrossRail was planned before the change into the current cetury. We
are now in year 11, going on 12.


It was only really given the go ahead in 2008, and then in 2010 there
was a wait whilst the new government decided whether they wanted to
continue with it or not.

But if you want to start looking back, I'd suggest one could at least
go back as far as the early 90's iteration of the project.


I thought it was originally suggested along with the Victoria Line in
the 1940s.
