Default Crossrail and Tube upgrades spared the axe - NCE

New Civil Engineer reports that the Crossrail project will go ahead

"But funding for Crossrail and Tube projects will only be retained if
London mayor Boris Johnson abandons plans to scrap the Western
extension of the congestion charging zone or axes concessionary bus
and tram fares for 16-17 year olds."

Over to you, mophead! *;-)


It has been stated that Crossrail will now use an abandoned Thames
tunnel and railway route towards Abbey Wood. But where are these? I
looked on Streetmap.co.uk but the disused railway lone isn't shown.
Thanks - CJB.
