well not really cancelled, as it has never actually been confirmed, more
mothballed
But I can't see it being resurrected any time soon, not if commuter numbers
are permanently on a downwards projectory.
Also "TfL will also have to further investigate driverless trains"
surely they do that as a matter of course anyway?
It has to be a long term aim, but it's a 25 year solution to TFL's funding
not one that can be implemented on a 1 year one timeframe
I see another London economy measure has been crystallised:

I bet that'll be popular with the staff for the next 5 years until xrail
opens. Not. Fine if you live near that area, a PITA to get to if you live
anywhere else.
Take the river bus.
Wrong side of the river plus it costs a fortune though I suppose they'd have
staff discounts.
Easy enough to add a stop right side of the river.
