even Tony Polson agreed it was a good idea.

Which doesn't, in itself, necessarily mean that something is a bad idea...

But, yes, people are already suggesting long distance trains through
the tunnel, but as it's a TfL project, I don't think that demand will

That has been suggested for about as long as the idea which became

I get the impression that there are still normals who think they are
getting Thameslink 2 rather than Central Line 2, or even something like
the line from Brussels Midi to Nord.
