We shall not be amused - Victoria to be rebuilt.

I expect that the residents of areas next to Heathrow will watch the
politicians twitching over the visual impact of Victoria with great
interest.

it's not a great building but it certainly needs to be refurbished.
Especially that crappy roof.

That article's ********. This is the redevelopment of several blocks
north of the station (including the bus station and District/Circle
tube entrance), but it doesn't involve the mainline station at all.

A quick search of Google News says this is the original source, and
doesn't contain this error:

The Times has rewritten it here, introducing mention of the mainline
station:

And Transport Briefing has taken this and run with it, merging it with
some random junk from this old press release:
http://www.capitalcommitment.co.uk/s...ase.aspx?id=46

And this new one:

Grrr.

Interesting to see in that report that the development has to make
provision for Crossrail 2.

It's always a good idea to make passive provision for such things. The
notion of Crossrail 2 being built might currently seem laughable, but
in 10, 20 or 30 years time things might be different.

That's what safeguarding is all about!
