Default Crossrail link to Reading hangs in the balance

Except that is not how it happened at all.

The 1990s Snow Hill link was a GLC driven idea simply to link
Blackfriars with Farringdon. It had very little to do with any BedPan
or subsequent TL development. TL2000 formed its own business case once
Snow Hill was in place - or at least under way.
