Default BBC: Crossrail not to lose branches or stations for savings

The £16bn Crossrail scheme will not lose any of its planned stations
or branches in order to save money, Crossrail Limited (CRL) has said.

But CRL will not design a new train for the 72-mile (116km) route
across London and aims to redesign Whitechapel and Canary Wharf
stations.

It also plans to make use of disused rail infrastructure for most of
the Abbey Wood branch.


If they mean the NLL to North Woolwich, then wasn't that always going to
be the route?
