Compared to CrossRail the guys in Edinburgh are getting on with the
job. Not just talking about it 10 years later.


Are you suggesting Crossrail has not yet started?


There are some big holes in the ground near Tottenham Ct Road. Maybe
it's someone building a new facility for the S******* R******, and not
what it seems at all? They do say that hiding things in plain sight is
often a useful strategy.


Work is also underway at the portals, and Farringdon has become a rather
large buiilding site. I know that some of these projects are also to do
with related projects to enlarge ticket halls, etc, but those probably
wouldn't have started without Crossrail.
