Other hot news - there will be no toilets in the trains, nor any

business of moving people.
Trains sans water closets from Reading to London are unacceptable.

Why not?

The expected journey time from Liverpool St to Maidenhead (the lookup
thingy on the Crossrail website doesn't know about Reading yet, although
the maps do) is 49 minutes. That's pretty much exactly the same as
Aldgate East to Wimbledon on the District Line.

The District Line would not be one's route of choice if travelling
between those stations.

How would you travel between those points, then?
