According to Private Eye, the ‘it's all gone quiet’ surrounding the

Rumour is they won’t either and that the DfT is working furiously on a
cut down cheaper version involving tube size tunnels.


Would there be any point in a new east-west tube line? Does the
central line need relieving much? I suppose if it headed off to
Thamesmead or hackney if could have some purpose but it would stilll
duplicate a lot of the central/jubilee without solving the original
crossrail issue.
