Did anyone in government ever actually suggest that Crossrail might be

that appears to have farily widespread currency so I kind of feel it
must have come from somewhere (an off the cuff comment from an ill-
informed minister for example).

I doubt the government will go out of its way to disabuse people of
the notion however , since perhaps they like it giving the impression
we'll be getting something usefil for the billions they're spending so
a bunch of athletes can run around in circles and chuck sticks and
balls about for a few weeks in events most people couldn't give a toss
about.
