At least that's what the Evening Standard headline said. I only had
time to skim the first couple of pars and the only other point I saw
was that it was unlikely to be complete in time for a possible Olympics
in 2012 in part because enabling legislation was unlikely before next year

Actually the Government has said "Hmmmm Crossrail.... that's a good
idea." They aren't willing to pay for it. Its going to be up to private
finance to fund 90% of the project. It won't be till November 2004 that
the legislation will be in place. And then they have to try and decide
on the right route.
