Nice one. Should we be waiting for the announcment that all trains will
terminate at Paddington to prevent performance pollution from the Great
Western? Or maybe just run between Paddington and Canary Wharf so it
doesn't matter if it rains?

Then if any of this gets built, how long will it be until someone
realises the loadings on the Shenfield branch are much higher and
alters the split to 16/8 or even 18/6? Sounds like the branch should
be cancelled before it drives the cost of the project to ridiculous
levels.
