Default Crossrail 2 - The Hype And The Consultation

I have just received an email from TfL which may be of general interest:

"Thank you for taking part in our consultation earlier and/or registering for
Crossrail 2 project updates.

We are now able to update you on the consultation results and let you know
that the consultation results report is now available online at www.crossrail2.co.uk.

We are now working through the suggestions and comments made during the
consultation. We hope to be able to publish our response to issues raised in
the early spring 2014.

There were a total of 13,933 replies to the recent consultation: 13,767 were
from the public and 166 from stakeholders

Of the 13,767 replies received, 96% of the public respondents strongly
support or support the principle of Crossrail 2. Only 2% oppose or strongly
oppose the principle.

Support is high for both route options, but it is the Regional option which has
the greatest overall level of support, with 84% total support, against 73%
total support for the Metro option. Many of the responses received, requested
specific destination to be served.

Of the 166 stakeholder replies received, 86% strongly support or support the
principle of Crossrail 2. Only 3% oppose or strongly oppose the principle.

The Regional option has strong support from stakeholders, with 75% strongly
supporting or supporting this option, as opposed to just 36% who strongly
supported/supported the Metro option. Only 6% of stakeholders opposed or
strongly opposed the Regional option. 16% of stakeholders strongly opposed
or opposed the Metro option.

As with public responses, a number of specific destinations were requested to
be served."

It would be interesting to know how many of the public respondents live
outside London.
