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.
Just like the Channel Tunnel, HS1 and now HS2.
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.
LOL!
