Default Crossrail NOT making connections

It's just a case of agreeing with BAA how fares and revenues will work

In this economic climate do we believe the politicians/treasury will
agree to funding Electrification to Oxford. *I wish, but I doubt it.

Yes, definitely. Or at least, the economic climate neither means that
the government won't be able to pay, nor that it'd be a bad idea - I
suppose it's possible that they might decide it's not politically
expedient.
