Our ex-Mayor, one Ken Livingstone, frequently asserts on LBC on Saturday
mornings that instead of spending a fortune on HS2 we should build just
such a tunnel across London.

It's sobering that Ken - along with many of us - will probably not live
to see Crossrail 2 go into service at current rate of progress, so the
orginal tunnel could well have been in place before he goes.

One point form the consulation is that Essex Road is said to be one of
the busiest bus stops which would make dropping this station a poor
decision I think.

(A response says: "Essex Road and Walworth Road have the highest volume
of bus passengers in London - true?)
