Default No surprise: Crossrail to Tring proposal

I guess there will be grade-separated junctions near OOC and Willesden
Junction. The link will be between the GWR relief and slow WCML lines.


An earlier suggestion was a tunnel from OOC to somewhere south of Wembley
Central. Crossrail would take over the DC lines from there, with the
Bakerloo and Overground services terminating in new platforms on the east
side of Wembley Central station (there's already tracks there).


That makes no sense -- Crossrail needs to be on the slow lines to get to
Tring, not the DC lines, which will also be accommodating the Met to
Watford Junction.
