infrastructure project into the sidings.

Crossrail 2 planners had wanted a decision on it by the end of May to

"The current timeline envisions a hybrid bill being submitted to parliament
by the autumn of 2019 for Royal Assent by 2021/2022, and construction to
commence that year. The rail route would then be ready to open for 2033,
which would also tie in with the second phase of HS2."

be made?

Right now, they don't even have an agreed route.
