According to the new Modern Railways, the existing A13 is going to be
buried as it goes near Barking Reach to create room for more housing.
Meanwhile, the entire new railway to Barking Reach is built on a viaduct.
They say that the water table is pretty high there, but while that would
create problems for tunnelling, I don't think it would be too much of a
problem for cut and cover.

I find it incredible that someone thinks that putting a restricted access
highway in a tunnel is a cost effective way of releasing land for housing

if it was every restricted access road in London could be so re-sited.

But I don't see anyone suggesting that we do this with other roads.

Or even with us putting railways in tunnels so that they can be built on top
of


Gerrard's Cross?

GX my home territory. Just in case anyone does not know all about it,
there is lots of stuff on my website at www.meadwaypark.co.uk. I
apologise for its technical simplicity, which I have been told about
by many experts.


Does the job! My only comment is that one shot on the west side of
Packhorse Road is the wrong aspect ratio, the one of Brox.


How right you are. Definitely compressed horizontally. Sorry about
that.
Why does Brox excite you ?
