Crossrail and the District line
"John Rowland" wrote in message ...
"Richard J." wrote in message ... The reason why they have not proceeded with the NLL option is that it would be a slower line, there are greater problems with conflicts with NLL and freight services than with the tunnel option, and a couple of level crossings which can't easily be avoided without tunnels. I find it hard to believe that a couple of level crossings are even a small part of the reason for a tunnel costing, what, hundreds of millions? Bollo Lane, and especially Churchfield Road, are exactly the sort of streets in which councils erect barriers to prevent rat-running, so closing both roads at the railway is an obvious and cheap solution. I would truncate the NLL at Willesden, or remove it altogether, at least in my Outer Circle plan (I shall post it soon). This would be more cost-effective, and have the benefit of serving Acton Central. Even building tunnels for those roads would be cheaper than the current proposal. |
