Just reading in the Standard about the possible expansion of Luton Airport

This mentions Crossrail 2, which has always been the proposed
Chelsea Hackney line AFAIK. The proposed Crossrail 2 mentioned in the
article appears to run from Luton Airport to Euston then presumably
under London and to the South.


Anyone know any details, or is it just a figment of the architect's
imagination?


Architects poetic license: Why would Luton have Crossrail 2? *It
already has Thameslink. *NE London to Wimbledon (occupied north
Surrey) onwards is far needier.


Its sort of part of extension of and/or alternatives to proposals for
Luton airport expansion I posted under the "Every 5 min Tring to
Stevenage/Knebworth by sealed shuttle" . Don't think proposals have
any authoritative support but schemes dreamed up by consultants out to
make themselves money by ridiculous plans. The east-west shuttle is in
the consultants main plan, the Crossrail link seems to have sprouted
from others seizing on the Luton airpot expansion, but I might have
got that wrong, I don't really have time to read all this fairyland
rubbish
