Correction ! having now seen the map published in the Times, it
appears that the Superlink proposals are for outer-suburban type
services:


Reading-Tilbury
Guildford and Basingstoke-Reading-Cambridge


How do the trains get from the Southwest Mainline to the Crossrail
tunnel?


via Reading apparently. This would be OK for services from Basinsgtoke
(assuming the line is electrified), but the map also shows trains from
Guildford routed via Basingstoke and Reading which sounds rather
improbable to me.
