My guess: We have an anouncement on Crossrail soon.

It already has the government's full support - the current hurdle is
getting it through parliament, which isn't really something you can
announce. I don't think any progress can be made until there's been
a few months of consultation whatnot over the recent Woolwich changes.
The only thing Brown could announce is scrapping it.

You're having a laugh surely? They have agreed no public funding at all.

The Thameslink Programme, on the other hand...

It's waiting for CSR2007 later in the year (allegedly, at current
slippage rates it'll be 2008) for a funding decision. The planning
permissions have been obtained.
