Apologies for the length of this post, but I've chosen to answer many

Paddington (where interchange with Crossrail would of course be
available).

Plenty of *uninformed* comment too, to boot - why doesn't everyone
READ the CrossRail website contents, and if you're that interested,
ensure that you attend one of Network Rail / CrossRail exhibitions???

Would do if they mounted one in Perth, Western Australia. I might be one of
maybe 50-100 that'd come and look. Don't think my contacts at Crossrail
would entertain the idea, though
