Plans to transform central London with a 22-mile-long underground
ring road can be revealed today.

Costing £30 billion to construct, it would remove tens of
thousands of cars from the crowded streets above.

What a hare-brained idea! What would the portals do to their localities and
why would it divert anything from the streets in central London?


This looks like 1960s car insanity to me, likely to generate a lot more
traffic.

Unless its a replacement for the north circular. But frankly the money would
be a lot better spent building a outer circle line for the tube since the
north london line just does not cut the mustard - too slow, trains too
infrequent and **** poor interconnections with the tube.
