I don't often go to Oxford now, but I remember when using the Oxford
Tube is passed a large area of vacent land, somewhere in West London.
The houses which had stood on this land demolished to make way for a
road widening scheme, which had been cancelled. *With the cutbacks
which are coming, whoever wins the next election, the cancellation of
Crossrail must be considered at least a possibility; i.e. cancelling
it is still cheaper than completing it, so I wonder if we will see the
same situation here.

As a rule, I oppose government spending money the taxpayer can ill
afford. However, in this case I sincerely hope the Crossrail project
is not cancelled. London needs Crossrail.
