Default The BBC on Crossrail

Crossrail was mentioned in a speech by some nice old lady today,
apparently, so the Beeb have an article on it:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/b...ts/4036327.stm

They say:

"It would allow trains serving the current Chiltern lines to run straight
into London and through to Essex."

That's wrong, right?

They also say:

"The second route would link Herts and Beds with Clapham Junction."

I take it they're referring to Crossrail 2; firstly, is that going to be
in the Crossrail bill, and secondly, is it going anywhere near
Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire? The last i heard was that it was going to
take over a bit of the Central Line, which i thought was in Essex. Or is
it all still up in the air? Is anyone even thinking about it seriously?
