But as far as I know, the CRT project is still very much alive. Last I
heard was that Ken was considering doing the south bit first, then the
north bit, and that it was still awaiting approval and funding, but that if
it got it it would (could) be ready for 2016.

According to the last board meeting notes, a preferred route report
was planned to be issued last September, and the forecast date is
"TBC". The prose states:

"Over the next six months the project team will be investigating the
implications and options for phased implementation of the scheme, and
firming up the costs, benefits and overall business case. "

"Shelved" is obviously premature, but they're definitely having a
serious rethink.

And is Boris correct in saying that £46.4m has ALREADY been spent on these
two projects? Surely not!

I wouldn't be surprised. They put a lot of work into WLT - all those
years of planning and consultations would have cost a few quid.
