Do you think the Crossrail will result in a reduction of the number of
passengers on the Central Line?


No, because although it parallels the central line, it misses a lot of
key interchanges - especially holborn and oxford circus, where traffic
from Kings Cross meets it.


I think that is intentional - Crossrail provides station exits at Hanover
Square and in Soho though, which is presumably intended to give people other
options than going to Oxford Circus via the Central line; and you also have
to consider that pax from the current FCC serviceswill be able to
interchange directly at Farringdon, if they wish to transfer to Crossrail...
