"Crossrail will go ahead, new Transport Secretary Philip Hammond announced
today. He ended fears that the Lib-Con government could pull the plug on the
landmark £16billion rail scheme for London."

"Speaking to the Evening Standard on his first full day in the job, he said:
"I think the funding for Crossrail is already established. We are making
sure that in delivering the project we absolutely optimise value for money."

This is excellent news. So far, so good for Crossrail. Come the
