The BBC on Crossrail
"Tom Anderson" wrote in message ... Crossrail was mentioned in a speech by some nice old lady today, apparently, so the Beeb have an article on it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/b...ts/4036327.stm They say: "It would allow trains serving the current Chiltern lines to run straight into London and through to Essex." That's wrong, right? They also say: "The second route would link Herts and Beds with Clapham Junction." I take it they're referring to Crossrail 2; firstly, is that going to be in the Crossrail bill, and secondly, is it going anywhere near Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire? The last i heard was that it was going to take over a bit of the Central Line, which i thought was in Essex. Or is it all still up in the air? Is anyone even thinking about it seriously? tom Just the BBC being as up-to-date and accurate as ever. Te same as they are still insisting London has *two*area codes - "0207" or "0208" - instead of the one 020 code for the whole city again. Next year numbers in the range (020) - 3xxx xxxx will start being issued so we can expect a panicky item or three from BBC London because suddenly London's codes are changing again! We will hear "New code 0203 for London......massive upheaval of London's phone numbers again".......... *NOT* !! (just new numbers within the 020 single code). Never accept anything you hear on the BBC as being the gospel, their presenters and staff are ignorant and inaccurate. Andy |
