There's already a thread in uk.t.l, with a link to this more detailed
consultation document:
https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/crossrail/june-2014

whatever happened to the simple option of connecting Waterloo to KX?

This tunnel all the way from Wimbledon to Tottenham looks like a recipe
for
it never getting built (because it is too expensive)

Given how busy north and south london mainline railways are I'm not sure
crossrail 2 is viable from a service point of view. Perhaps they should
just
build the hackney tube instead.

From the SW there is plenty of capacity on the envisaged routes into
Wimbledon. Taking Crossrail2 services into tunnel from there will actually
relieve congestion on the really busy lines from there into Waterloo via
(especially) Clapham Junction.
