Default Sense seen on Crossrail at last?

...but I agree this is more likely. Will the remodelled Reading allow
easy cross-platform interchange between slow Oxford terminators and
London services?


Highly unlikely to be cross platform, and may not even be on adjacent
islands, as far as the various drawings of the Reading layout show.


It won't be cross-platform - fast London's will leave from current
platforms 8 & 9, the slows / crossrail would be from the 3 extra
platforms (behind current Plat 9 and a further island platform to the
north of that.
