No. But I'd venture that the majority of travel involving London is people going *into* it from outside to work, not *out* of it for leisure. So where they live is less relevant than ensuring that it is easy to get to/from workplaces in central London. Neil Arguably a station west of London but on Crossrail is easier to get to, say, Docklands from than somewhere like Euston or St. Pancras. Proposed Crossrail journey times are really rather fast compared to anything you're used to on conventional tube or rail. Taking Acton Main Line, which is a bit west of OOC: Tottenham Court Road - 11m Farringdon - 14m Liverpool St. - 16m Canary Wharf - 23m Stratford - 27m Knock a minute or so off for the shorter distance and it isn't far off the time from existing London terminals, particularly given walking times to the Circle/Met Line from say St. Pancras or Euston platforms.
