Crystal Palace tram link under threat?
By Gemma Wheatley
The proposed extension of Croydon's tram link to Crystal Palace could
be in jeopardy following approval of the Crossrail scheme.


Did 'Thameslink' appear in the subject line intentionally?


Paul


Is this a case of the article mistakenly referring to Crossrail when
they meant Thameslink, or is it a misunderstanding about funds being
diverted rather than routes encroaching?


The article doesn't refer to Thameslink whatsoever - follow the link
and you can see this. The reference to Thameslink was regrettably
introduced by this thread's OP, 'Mwmbwls'.


That's what I said ... isn't it? The OP may have made the first
assumption, but the second is slightly more plausible.

I just wonder if there was something non-nonsensical behind the
article that was worth knowing about.
