That's good to hear. *Any idea where they might be going for display?


I'm pretty sure its the BPMA museum store at Debden (which is only open
for about one day a month, and I'd check in advance that the rolling
stock is actually going to be on display):

Yup - its the BPMA. They sent me some lovely photos of the removal
(and stuck even more up on Flikr). Think they took out a couple of
1930s engines and the last original mail coach that was down there.

Will it breech the tunnels?

There was certainly a comment a few years ago that crossrail would be a lot
more expensive if it didnt breach the tunnels . *Presumably they are going
ahead with the version that does.

Why does it need to breach the Post Office Railway? They follow more
or less the same route, and the Post Office Railway keeps mainly to
the north of Oxford Street - as that's where the postal offices are/
were - while Crossrail mainly keeps to the south (think of where the
stations are).

Even when Crossrail deviates at farringdon, the Post Office Railway
deviates further to the north to reach mount pleasant.
