The tunnels have TWICE the cross section area of existing tube
tunnels, to allow a walkway!


Great idea! Walking along tracks is bloody awful. If there is an evac
then a walkway will speed things up enormously. Same with getting
mechanics to problem scenes.


Isn't it a requirement for all new tunnels to have an evacuation route for
walking and wheelchairs?

It looks like the public can get into a raised viewing platform
over the Battersea Power Station Station.


He mentioned a possible future extension to Clapham Jct!


That would make sense if Crossrail 2 goes ahead.
