Crossrail could bankrupt London - says Ken Livingstone

I'm very slightly dubious about this. Where are the trains run using this capacity going to run to? More trains on the GE fasts? More WA trains? West Anglia: "On the Great Eastern route, it has been assumed that a 6 tph service would operate in the peak period between Gidea Park and Liverpool Street. On the West Anglia route via Hackney Downs, an additional 6 tph are assumed to operate following the opening of Crossrail. " http://billdocuments.crossrail.co.uk...%20Pattern.pdf And the first lot of trains mean a net increase in service on the Shenfield route. Okay, i thought it was path-for-path. There will be more actual trains under Crossrail? Interesting question. I think the peak provision remains the same but they'll be running more trains off peak. Sounds like it shouldn't be a problem, but AIUI due to freight and the platforms at Paddington being taken up by intercity services which are busy all day, there's not capacity to run it at the moment. Is TLnK getting Victoria trains? I haven't been keeping up, i have to confess. Not directly, but Victoria and London Bridge/Blackfriars serve a lot of the same places.
