London Labour Sadiq Khan TFL fares haven't all been frozen

Crossrail was begun by Boris

Superloop is joke and is simply an amalgam of existing routes

Philip Haigh Brentwood station, although outside Greater London is operated by TfL. Despite upgrades for Crossrail triggering mandatory DSfARS requirements of level access the station is not accessible. Please sign our petition change.org/lift4brentwoodโ€ฆ

Westminster collects most of our taxes. Returns small portion to Senedd. Uses rest for its own pet projects - neuclear arsenal, HS2, Crossrail, palace refurbishment, levelling up debacle etc.
Even then Welsh estimated GDP is ranked in the upper quartile of World economies.

In other words, Crossrail, which is very successful is what you get when you know what the railway system is for.

HS2 is what you get when you're not really sure. They both embody the best and the worst of UK rail.

Trev Clark's Obscure Aviation History ๐Ÿš Hannah Prowse RAF Museum There's some nice modern blocks of flats on the site now & it's a convenient place to rent for a short break in London (via Crossrail).

My Dad could remember when the nearby street, Cherry Orchard, really was a cherry orchard.

Tremendous. Interesting to hear the issues business hoped a Mayor would solve quickly and did - a congestion charge and Olympic bid - and those that were slower, like Crossrail. But hopes for more powers and taxes (from a younger Tony T) have not materialised.

Or to build crossrail 3 by next week, to have free rent or every child to have a puppy if they want one.

It's silliness

David Frankal ๐ŸŸฃ HS3; east west Crossrail for the north (Merseyside, Manchester, Yorkshire) should have been built first with the PM opening it during 2024 election campaign

Alas, we are led by political fools who promised much (ie: 'levelling up') & delivered nothing

(Belfast via Douglas too?)
