The people Crossrail is supposed to benefit - the international
financial community
I think that London Crossrail will benefit much more people than
just the "financial community".
It will be a faster way to get _thru_ London, instead of just _into_
London.
Well, it would be if it was designed to take long distance trains. But
it's not - just stoppers from Maidenhead to Shenfield. Long distance
travellers (Bristol - Norwich?) wanting to travel across London will
still have to change twice, just as now.

All the more reason to pull the plug. Thameslink, by contrast, will accommodate
long-distance services, will it not ?
