Default CrossRail or CrossConnections? Guns or butter?

There a trickle of mentions of Crossrail in the press to
give the impression that the project exists and is going to
happen, but it is pie in the sky because it is not value for
money. So as not to formally abandon the idea, the promoters don't
mention the alternative, the butter, the home comforts. That
money and effort could be much better spent in another way,
obvious every day to travellers in London.


It would be far better to abolish Crossrail Corporation (the #1
enemy of Crossrail) and make Crossrail value for money.


Do you mean Cross london Rail Links Ltd? In what way are CLRL the No.1
enemy of Crossrail? Whom would you get to design and develop the scheme
instead of them?
