Default Crossrail could bankrupt London - says Ken Livingstone

And if those employees lost their jobs, then that would take several

But why would they lose their jobs if Crossrail didn't happen? The
existing lines are by and large adequate (if not always pleasant) for
getting everyone to their current jobs - if they weren't, they
wouldn't get there!
