I am amazed that the Crossrail route is still moot. I thought it had all been settled.

It does seem rather a poke in the eye that the line passes just 550ft
from the airport, as if Crossrail didn't know it was there. And City
Airport is going to take TWO years making a feasibility study!

The route is settled, but LCY would like a station to be added. I don't
think there would be a diversion to run closer to the airport terminal. It
does seem odd that this is coming up just months before the line finally
opens. The issue mudt have been considered many years ago, and the option
dismissed. After all, the equivalent discussions and decisions about
additional, privately-funded Crossrail stations at Canary Wharf and
Woolwich took place many years ago:
