Another mistake:

Crossrail 1, which is a £10 million joint venture between Transport for
London and the Strategic Rail Authority, will create a brand new network
of services linking areas to the east and west of London. It would give
Kingston a direct rail link to Heathrow and Paddington for the first
time if it comes to the royal borough.


Would it? While Crossrail may be planned to go to Heathrow, you wouldn't be
able to get there directly from Kingston...

If it only costs £10 million, then we want five Croxley Links in the Watford
area!

Yes and yes. It frightens me sometimes that people in charge of
disseminating information to the masses don't even bother to get their
facts straight. I can understand the £10m thing - it's stupid but it's
probably a relatively easy mistake.
However, the Heathrow thing is complete ignorance of the thing they're
reporting, which annoys me. All they need to do is to look at one map...
