" It will effectively bring the tube to London's busiest national
rail line
(Liverpool St - Shenfield), provide a new fast link from North Kent to
Docklands, the city and West End, provide a cheap fast route from Heathrow,
and relieve congestion on the Central, Circle and District lines.



Crossrail may do all these things, but, wherever it crosses the river,
it will be of little ure to most people in South-East London. IMHO
Crossrail should take its place in the queue behind Thameslink 2000
which will allow more trains into Central London from all parts of SE
London including a future link with Crossrail at Farringdon.
