Spot the mistakes

Recently there have been rumours that the government is considering axing Kingston from the Crossrail 1 plans. The line may now finish instead at Richmond or Turnham Green. We had letters in our local paper (Richmond & Twickenham Times) asking whether it could be routed round the Hounslow loop to Feltham. If there is a town in Japan called Kamikaze perhaps we could be twinned with it! At least Kingston have learned their lesson: in the 1830's they fought hard to keep the railway out so as to protect the coaching trade - which is why the main line goes through Surbiton which then didn't exist. By the time what became the Kingston loop was being planned in the 1850's they vowed to fight any proposed railway extension in the area that didn't go to Kingston. -- Tony Bryer |
