Good article:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/31/w...T.nav=top-news "But standing one recent morning on that empty Crossrail platform, where construction workers in orange gear and hard hats hauled shiny metal panels to line the walls, I still couldn't help wondering whether the new train leads toward another glorious era for this city, or signals the end of one." |

Tottenham Court Road. Escalator banks descend through a sleek, silent black ticket hall where towering, empty, white-tiled passageways snake toward the new, vaulted train platform, curving like a half moon into the subterranean darkness." Ah, so the platforms do have a curve. "hauled shiny metal panels to line the walls" Oh dear, I hope those aren't inflammable cladding. -- Roland Perry |

The NYT is infamous for its bias. I'm surprised they didn't manage to fit blaming Trump for something into it. |

Mind you, I'm happy: you lot carved about $CAD1,000 off a $5,800 cruise, denominated in GBP. |

This Brexiteer is not suffering at all. Nor any of my friends. We do all notice that many Remainers seem to want the U. K to fail in the cowardly new world. |

Similarly, Modern Railways has published an anti HS2 retort
from Christian Wolmar to a silly and juvenile attack from Ian Walmsley in a previous edition. I don't think Modern Railways is opposed to HS2. (For what it's worth, I normally agree with Ian Walmsley and disagree strongly with Christian Wolmar) |
