Crossrail link to Reading hangs in the balance
In message
, at 08:46:24 on Thu, 27 Dec 2007, Paul Weaver remarked: A decision on whether to extend the £16billion Crossrail scheme to Reading will be made in the New Year, it emerged today. If it is, then presumably the current semifast services from Reading will be relegated to all-stops, and there won't be much choice for passangers from the Slough-Reading corridor Is that what another poster referred to in a different thread as "St Alban-isation"? (I took this to be a reference to BedPan electrification meaning mainline services no longer stopped there). -- Roland Perry |

(Then you would have what might be called Sloughification ) I think what is being referred to here is a downgrade, ie more stops inserted, of the current semi-fasts Reading - PDN. Kester |
