But selling it as a way just to shave 15 mins off a trip to brum was moronic and quite rightly people said it would be a waste of money. The official stuff did say that. Unfortunately no-one official seems to have stepped to shout about it once NIMBYs and the media decided to run with "OMFG 100 million billion quid to cut 20 minutes off London - Birmingham and who wants to go to anywhere outside the M25 anyway". It doesn't help that much of the official position seems to come from engineering types, so is accurate Except that it's not. By comparison with other commuter lines into London, Euston services are not "full" Load factors on the central section of the Central Line are low[1] in comparison with Bangladesh Railways at a religious festival = Crossrail isn't needed. [1] At least I assume so, on the basis that not many people travel on the outside of Central Line trains. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
