Somewhat untrue. Crossrail will have huge benefits - in the order of
£20bn at the last estimate. It may have minor benefits to the new
residents in Stevenage and Harlow, but certainly not zero. As Tom said,
Crossrail releases capacity into Liverpool St for Harlow trains, and it
will also provide rapid access and increased capacity to the West End
and Canary Wharf for passengers from Stevenage changing off Thameslink
at Farringdon.

Whilst Crossrail releases capacity at Liverpool St it does nothing
about increasing capacity on the double track section as far as
Cheshunt. I don't know how much more capacity there is and even if
there was is there any spare further south.
